MAWD Pathology Group was established in 1969 and over the past 52 years has provided professional pathology and reference lab services to over 50% of hospitals and physician practices in Kansas City and the surrounding region. MAWD is a physician owned organization committed to taking excellent care of patients. Everything in MAWD’s organization – the focus on excellence in service, the accountability demanded of the staff, the collegial work environment, the insistence on ethical business, the services offered - is shaped by an underlying commitment to excellence for patients. It's the MAWD Way.

As the premier independent provider of pathology and laboratory services in the region, MAWD started testing for COVID in March 2020 to support our partner healthcare facilities. We soon recognized a critical need for accessible and reliable PCR testing outside of healthcare facilities and expanded our services to aid private businesses, public and private schools and educational institutions, local governments, and statewide testing initiatives. MAWD’s reliability and rapid turnaround times are keys to our clients’ success in returning to a new normal. 

​

We have worked with businesses and employers, schools and school districts, and hospitals and healthcare providers throughout Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.  Our lab performs COVID tests on upper respiratory (nasal swab, NP, OP, etc.), lower respiratory (sputum, BAL, etc.), and saliva specimens. We have solutions to fit any COVID-19 testing need and are ready to work with you.
