Northshore Clinical Labs has become a name to trust in the US since the advancement of COVID-19. The lab, based out of Chicago, has performed exceptionally well with its high-capacity testing facilities across the country. The lab has teams of trained professionals all over the country who have tirelessly tested many thousands of people each day. They have run tests in facilities ranging from nursing homes to schools, and summer camps to corporations. Not only tests, but they have also administered thousands of doses of COVID vaccine all over Illinois.

The story behind Northshore Clinical Labs started modestly with CEO Omar Hussain almost giving up on the idea of running the facilities due to various constraints. Before giving up, he decided to give it a final try and open the firm's own lab. Northshore Clinical was an existing lab, it was owned by a close acquaintance of a friend. The lab was a small operation, but it was ready to grow, and Omar had right ideas to get it where it needed to be. Northshore Clinical had all licenses required and had been around for over 34 years. 

By February 2020, Northshore Clinical was bought, and with time the office shifted to a large facility.  Omar also had another company called Curis Healthcare that he owns 100% of. This company worked with multiple labs then, and COVID helped it get more contracts. Northshore Clinical was ready by November 2020, and they started testing their first COVID samples. The floor area of 15,000 sq. ft. had a free clinic where anyone could get tested for COVID. The lab grew massively in a short span. They have taken two more offices and are now looking at 50,000 sq. ft. of office space. The rocketing growth meant they are working with Senators, the Illinois department of health, reporting to multiple states, and much more. Now they are working with over 100 nursing homes. Overall, Northshore operates in upwards of 1,000 locations across the USA through third-party operators and that number is growing weekly. They are now able to test tens of thousands of people for COVID every single day.

"Northshore is now regularly signing large contracts with international airports, police departments, and reporting to a countless number of senators and state official all across the nation." says Omar Hussain, CEO.

This indicates the confidence of the CEO and the stature of the company. They are helping people, and the government contains the spread of COVID by providing early testing of probable COVID cases. The massive number of tests that Northshore is doing every day has been a massive aid to the USA in these trying times.
