Christopher Ridgeway, founder and CEO of Stone Clinical Laboratories, on empowering physicians.

There is a lot to be gained from empowering people. They are capable of things you can’t even imagine. This can only happen if they’re granted the freedom that comes with being empowered.

The best workers are just smart, they have inquisitive minds and want to explore further.

What examples of empowering workers do you know of? What happened as a result of it?

How exciting that Preservation Hall is opening up for live music for the first time since COVID-19 began?

It’s really nice to have things such as live music return. Life has been affected in every way and things such as live music have been missed.

It will be the first performance at Preservation Hall since March 2020.

Saying this, it’s important that people are still careful and don’t do anything to trigger another outbreak.

Everyone at Stone Clinical Laboratories is working hard to prevent this. It’s the last thing anyone wants.

Imagine explaining the concept of a YouTube Channel to someone 25 years ago!

It’s a sign of how technology has advanced that people are curious why you don’t have a YouTube Channel.

They can ask this of Stone Clinical Laboratories no longer as we have our own YouTube Channel.

It’s great for giving people an insight into the inner workings of Stone Clinical Laboratories.

If there are any specific things you’d like to see, please let me know!

One of the central pillars in the Stone Clinical Laboratories ethos is Empowering Physicians.

Empowering Physicians gives them the ability to think outside the box. Who knows where this creativity will lead?

Some of the most exciting and ground breaking scientific advances came due to physicians being empowered.

Now when we’re looking to labs all over the world to help us, we’re depending on scientific advances more than ever before.

Are people at your place of work empowered? If so, how does it manifest in real life? Have tangible benefits been achieved due to it?

It was our pleasure to play a part in the South Beach Wine & Food Festival happening. A much loved event, there were concerns that it wouldn’t be able to happen given the COVID issues but not only did it happen but it happened without a hitch and any drama.

Stone Clinical Laboratories partnered with SG Blocks and worked together to provide general testing and pop-up VIP and to those coming to the event in South Beach.

I’m extremely proud of the great work we’re doing at Stone Clinical Laboratories.

We just announced a partnership with LumiraDx to offer comprehensive COVID-19 testing solutions for mass screening settings.

This is going to allow us to provide provide the unique COVID-19 testing solutions of LumiraDx which will be key in ensuring the health and safety of groups.

As we want to exit COVID-19, the last thing we can have is a spike in cases but if people are so eager to get out, one mistake can prove extremely costly.

Thanks the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and Air & Sea Show & Music Explosion events went off without a hitch and people were able to have a wonderful time while not compromising on their health or safety.

As the CEO of Stone Clinical Laboratories, I don’t have much time to rest, so it’s good to have a day off to reflect on the true significance of Memorial Day.

Unfortunately this can be lost on many.

We’re very excited to be partnering with LumiraDx!

COVID-19 testing is obviously incredibly important and to offer a testing solution for mass screening settings will help so many people.

We’re looking forward to seeing where else this partnership will go.
