BURLINGTON, N.C., Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services, announced today the completion of its acquisition of select assets of Providence's laboratory business operated by its California medical groups, including ambulatory lab draw stations and an ambulatory laboratory facility and other equipment.
