COMPANY

We are more than just a software company. We are a healthcare company that brings together software, clinical, financial, and operational acumen to help our clients succeed. We are industry experts who treat every client's lab as if it were our own. It is this knowledge and care for our customers that ensures we deliver measurable value. By protecting the integrity of laboratory specimens as they translate to data, and then to information, we’re able to provide healthcare professionals with a better view of what is ailing their laboratories and networks.

The Rhodes Group was founded and incorporated in 2000 with a commitment to serve the laboratory marketplace through operational efficiency, revenue collections, analytics, and lab consulting services.
