Premier Medical Laboratory Services is the Official Testing Partner of the Charlotte Checkers

GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Charlotte Checkers played the Lehigh Valley Phantoms twice this weekend with a score of 7 to 3 on Saturday, lost by only 2 goals on Sunday. Fans cheered each time as players shot the puck past the goalie. Something that, a year ago was not possible for many sports organizations due to the pandemic. With that in mind, the Checkers organization is continuing to take every necessary precaution to protect the health of their players and staff. Having implemented an advanced COVID-19 testing strategy before the start of this year's season with nation leading laboratory, Premier Medical Laboratory Services (PMLS), players and staff have been tested routinely with some of the most accurate testing available. Today, PMLS is announcing they are the official testing partner of the Charlotte Checkers, ensuring the continued safety of the players and staff throughout the 2021-22 American Hockey League (AHL) season.

"At PMLS, we want players, staff, and fans to know that their health and well-being comes first," said Kevin Murdock, CEO and Founder of PMLS. "We have state-of-the art technology and some of the top scientists in the nation so that the Checkers organization receives the fastest and most accurate results to continue to play safely."

As a highly advanced laboratory, PMLS can process up to 300,000 COVID-19 tests per day and works with state health departments and large corporations. They are the choice processing lab for Health and Human Services Surge sites throughout the country and are the official testing partner of sports organizations like the United Soccer League and several collegiate athletic programs alongside the Charlotte Checkers - providing fast and accurate results. They help these entities and organizations implement testing strategies addressing their individual needs for efficient and effective COVID-19 transmission mitigation. This customizable program developed by top scientists at PMLS is called Keep America Thriving.  

"The COVID-19 pandemic has presented several significant challenges to the way we operate on a day-to-day basis," said Charlotte Checkers COO, Tera Black. "Premier Medical Laboratory Services has made it easy for a small staff like ours to conduct a high volume of testing as efficiently as possible so that we can ensure our players are safe, healthy and able to compete."

PMLS is dedicated to doing their part to ensure the Checkers are in optimal health so fans can continue cheering on these previous AHL Calder Cup Champions.
