Quest Diagnostics is a clinical laboratory company that turns biological samples into medical answers for physicians, hospitals, and health plans. Its role is straightforward: collect specimens, perform validated testing, and return clear reports that fit into everyday care. Digital ordering and result delivery reduce paperwork and keep data consistent across clinics and electronic records. The company also supports employers and public agencies with screening programs that follow the same chain-of-custody discipline. Operations extend across many regions, yet the promise is uniform — reliable turnaround, readable results, and service teams who understand how care is actually delivered. In health care, Quest Diagnostics serves as quiet infrastructure, helping clinicians confirm diagnoses, monitor therapy, and plan next steps with confidence.
TTM is calculated as the sum of the four most recently completed quarters. This is a standard approach when monthly or real-time data is not available.
