Harvey B. Guindi was named Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Health Network Laboratories (HNL), effective July 21, to guide the company's information technology efforts.

Guindi will oversee information technology efforts as HNL moves its main laboratory and administrative offices to a larger facility along Roble Road, Hanover Township, Lehigh County. The move is planned for late 2014 and is a result of the company outgrowing its location along Lehigh Street, Allentown.

"Harvey's technical skills and leadership abilities will be invaluable to our continued successes as we look forward toward many exciting changes and opportunities in the future," said Peter Fisher, MD, president and chief executive officer of HNL.

Guindi, of Emmaus, joined HNL one year ago after 15 years in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

Health Network Laboratories has more than 45 Patient Service Centers located throughout central and eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. HNL has provided laboratory diagnostic testing to communities for more than 15 years.
