FORT MYERS, FL--(Marketwired - September 11, 2017) - NeoGenomics, Inc.

In preparation for the storm, in order to ensure continuous, uninterrupted service to clients, the Company re-routed all specimens to its other lab facilities beginning last Thursday.

Doug VanOort, the Chairman and CEO of NeoGenomics, reported, "We closed our Fort Myers facility last Thursday afternoon in order to allow time for our employees to evacuate the area, and we understand that most did. We are very thankful that our employees are safe and are pleased that the Fort Myers facility incurred little damage in the Hurricane. We expect to resume normal operations in that facility by Wednesday of this week with full-scale operations resuming next week after FedEx and our courier routes have returned to their normal schedules."

Mr. VanOort also commented, "Our teams did a remarkable job of preparing our facility, employees, clients, and patient samples as much as possible, and the communication was excellent. Our IT networks have performed without interruption and our operations and Medical teams have re-oriented shift schedules to handle the increased volumes at our other facilities. Thus far, we have had minimal impacts to turn-around time, and we do not expect any impact on our ability to service clients."
