The company's culture is built on a foundation of integrity, teamwork, and innovation, fostering an environment where dedicated and motivated people can thrive both personally and professionally. Ascend believes that its employees are the driving force behind its culture of innovation and success.

They are committed to creating a nurturing and challenging workplace that encourages a collaborative approach to problem-solving and service excellence. This supportive structure ensures that every team member feels valued and empowered to contribute to the company's continued growth and industry leadership. Ascend's commitment extends to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Founded in 2000 to specialize in testing services for kidney disease, Ascend has grown into one of the largest independent laboratories in the country, now providing comprehensive clinical testing, robust water testing services, and their proprietary LabCheck™ software. In 2024, Ascend was acquired by Eurofins Scientific, a move that reinforces its footprint in transplant testing and renal care. This partnership allows Ascend to leverage Eurofins' extensive global network and analytical portfolio, further enhancing its ability to deliver industry-leading service, precision, and speed to dialysis clinics and hospitals across the United States.
