We are passionate about leading AACC towards achieving better health through laboratory medicine. We take ownership of our work, and we recognize, support, and celebrate each other’s accomplishments, realizing that AACC’s success is everyone’s responsibility.

Community-Powered

AACC is a membership organization that exists to serve its members and the lab medicine community. We are dedicated to embodying and demonstrating that our internal and external relationships are paramount to having a real, measurable impact on patient health.

Diversity and Inclusion

We embrace diversity, which is key to developing resources that meet the needs of all AACC members and their patients. We value our colleagues and members from underrepresented backgrounds, and pledge to treat them with fairness and respect, encourage their contributions, and support their professional growth.

Conduct Policies

AACC is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all who engage in AACC programs and activities, one that is free from discrimination in any form and for any reason. To this end, AACC has developed a code of conduct that applies across the organization. The code ensures that AACC members, customers, partners, staff, exhibitors, and others, in the course of their engagement in AACC activities and programs, remain free from all forms of harassment and bullying.

In addition to the universal AACC code of conduct, AACC members also follow AACC’s ethical guidelines for the profession and membership code of conduct.
