The Heart of Hardy Diagnostics: Community Action Committee

The California Community Action Committee (CAC), led by Lauren Hamilton, has been instrumental in driving our community outreach initiatives. This passionate group of employees has dedicated countless hours to various charitable activities, from organizing food drives and volunteer events to supporting local shelters and educational programs. Their work embodies the core values of Hardy Diagnostics and highlights our commitment to giving back to the community.

Over the years, the Community Action Committee has spearheaded several key initiatives for our community, including:
