The Dynacare Pathology Centre of Excellence officially celebrated the opening of its new Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) laboratory in Brampton, Ontario, after almost a year of construction. This laboratory strengthens our ability to serve the Canadian healthcare community more effectively and demonstrates an ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive, high-quality pathology services.
The building of the new laboratory was a result of Ontario Health selecting Dynacare as one of their providers for the new Ontario Cervical Screening Program launched in March 2025. This updated test screens a Papanicolaou (PAP) sample for HPV first, then a sample is sent to cytology for additional screening if necessary. The new HPV test requires a more sensitive methodology than what is currently used for cytology testing and will be run on the new molecular equipment.
In addition, the HPV laboratory incorporated green initiatives such as a new waste management program that upholds our commitments for balancing good environmental practices with smart business decisions. Design principles and 5S (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain) practices have also been incorporated to create a lean, efficient workplace.
The Dynacare Pathology Centre of Excellence and its new HPV lab are examples of Dynacare creating a lasting impact on patient care, improving lives, and shaping the future of Canadian healthcare.
