The Sarnia area's two LifeLabs locations will not be impacted by downsizing announced by the Toronto-based company.
LifeLabs announced last week it will shed more than 100 staff and close 15 patient centres in Ontario.
The medical laboratory company also announced 53 of its collection sites will see hours of operation reduced.
In an email to BlackburnNews.com, LifeLabs Communications Manager Stephanie Sayer confirms local service centres on Exmouth St. in Sarnia and on Mara St. in Point Edward will not be affected.
She says there are no impacts "in terms of either consolidations or reduced hours."
It's expected most of the closures will take place in March and April, including testing facilities in London, Thorold and Ottawa.
The cuts come less than three years after LifeLabs acquired Mississauga-based CML Healthcare Inc. for $1.2-billion.
