Our Story

Tom and Judy Kennedy

Why We Started

At Interpath, our journey is defined by a powerful purpose —a relentless commitment to revolutionize healthcare.

Founded in 1967, Interpath is a family-owned and operated pathological and anatomical laboratory. Under the visionary leadership of Tom and Judy Kennedy, Interpath grew to become the largest, independent laboratory in the Northwest. This growth was embodied by dedicated individuals instilling a culture of operational excellence, accountability, and innovation, driving us to make a lasting impact on people‘s lives.

How Our Story Unfolded

Our journey began in Eastern Oregon, providing limited laboratory tests.

In our early stages, we quickly realized that our clients highly valued exceptional customer service coupled with precise diagnostics, backed by an extensive test library. This dedication was fostered by the devoted people who played a crucial role in shaping our company. As a result, our approach led to rapid expansion across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
