Welcome to our website!  My name is Christine Hinz and I am the 2011-2012 ASCLS-MN President.  With the motto of one of our past ASCLS presidents, Mary Ann McLane, still stuck on my mind, I will work this year to be "the face" of our society and represent clinical laboratory professionals in Minnesota in all that we do.

The mission of the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science - Minnesota (ASCLS-MN), the state's constituent society of ASCLS, is to promote the profession of clinical laboratory science in Minnesota and provide beneficial services to those who practice it.  We strive to be the premiere organization for clinical laboratory science practitioners that provides leadership and promotes all aspects of clinical laboratory science practice, education, and management at the state level.

New members, long time members, and those who just want to learn more about us can use our state website and the national website www.ascls.org  to find out everything from upcoming continuing education events to what's happening in Washington.  Another great way to keep up with our society is to read our award-winning newsletter - it is filled with all of the happenings throughout the year.

I am excited to be serving our members as President over the next year.  I hope to meet each of you at one of our many events.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions about our society at christine.hinz@allina.com

Sincerely,

Christine Hinz, MS, MLS(ASCP)CM
