The Division of Laboratory Systems at the Centers for Disease Control launched a redesigned Internet home page in September. The new design —

• Connects our new Prepared Laboratories portal, to the division’s COVID-19 resources, with our existing online offering
• Creates a better user experience with easy access to the main navigation buttons for content portals, training resources, and the CLIA site
• Improves accessibility on different monitor displays, mobile devices, and Web browsers

We invite you to share the home page www.cdc.gov/labsystems with your colleagues to connect them with resources for clinical and public health laboratory professionals, students, and healthcare professionals.
