Quest Diagnostics employees "walk for the cure."

reach!

The Quest Diagnostics' volunteer program is called reach! which stands for remember every act can help. This program promotes volunteerism and demonstrates our commitment to social responsibility.

Since its inception in 1997, reach! has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for worthwhile causes, while contributing thousands of volunteer hours across the country. At monthly conference calls, employees from each of our facilities share ideas for fundraisers and discuss their projects.

The reach! program is supported by a Guidance Committee made up of employees from various areas and job levels within the Quest Diagnostics' organization. In addition, there are Project Coordinators and Project Leaders from each facility that work together to develop local monthly projects. Our employee volunteers make a difference.
