Pretorian Labs, LLC, one of the fastest-growing high-complexity labs in the country, has entered into a strategic partnership with Massillon Community Health (MCH) to launch a new healthcare model aimed at reshaping how care is delivered in mid-sized communities. This collaboration will integrate Pretorian’s full range of diagnostic testing services—including infectious disease screening, toxicology using LCMS, anatomic pathology, and clinical chemistry—directly into MCH’s local care network. The move is expected to reduce turnaround times, enhance provider efficiency, and improve patient care across the region.

A central part of this effort is the transformation of the former Massillon City Hospital into a hub that brings together urgent care, specialty providers, behavioral health services, and metabolic recovery programs. With the addition of Pretorian’s diagnostic services, MCH aims to provide a complete, patient-centered experience that prioritizes both clinical excellence and preventive care.
Lindsay Haupt Dierdorf, Chief Marketing Officer at MCH, emphasized that Pretorian Labs represents exactly the kind of partner the organization was built to collaborate with. She noted that beyond their technical expertise and scale, Pretorian shares a commitment to making healthcare more connected and responsive to the needs of the local community. According to her, this partnership is helping bridge the gap between scientific advancement and everyday care, delivering smarter and more accessible healthcare solutions for Massillon and surrounding areas.
