Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future: 75 Years of Excellence in Pathology

For more than seven decades, Clinical Pathology Associates (CPA) has been a trusted partner in delivering precise, timely, and expert pathology services. Since our founding in 1948, our commitment to service, quality, and integrity has remained unwavering, guiding us as we’ve grown into one of the most respected names in the field. Now, as we take the next step in our evolution, we are proud to introduce Oculus Pathology — a new name that reflects both our history and our future.

While our name and visuals have changed, our ownership, leadership, and mission remain the same. Oculus Pathology is the natural next chapter in our story, designed to position us for the future while maintaining the values that have defined us for 75 years.

A Legacy of Excellence

Our journey began in 1948, when a group of visionary pathologists established a practice with a single mission: to provide unmatched diagnostic expertise to healthcare providers and their patients. Over the decades, our practice built a reputation for excellence, growing to serve hospitals, outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician practices with an expansive team of highly specialized pathologists.

From our early days to today, we’ve continually advanced alongside the healthcare industry — adopting new technologies, expanding our subspecialties, and fostering collaborative partnerships with providers. Yet, through every change and innovation, our core mission has remained constant: delivering clarity, precision, and trust in pathology services.

The Next Chapter: Why Oculus Pathology?

The decision to evolve into Oculus Pathology was driven by a desire to strengthen our identity and position ourselves as a leader in modern pathology. The name “Oculus” — Latin for “window” — represents the role we play in patient care: providing insight, clarity, and diagnostic precision to healthcare providers.

While our name and branding are evolving, everything else remains the same:

  • Same Physician Ownership, Same Leadership.
  • Same Trusted Expertise.
  • Same Commitment to Clients.

“This rebrand is an opportunity to elevate our identity while maintaining the values that have defined us for more than seven decades,” said Matt Thompson, CEO of Oculus Pathology. “We are the same trusted team, with the same unwavering commitment to service, quality, and integrity — now with a modernized identity that better reflects who we are and where we’re going.”

The rebrand is a refinement of how we present ourselves — one that better reflects our long-standing values and forward-thinking approach.

Celebrating 75 Years of Impact

Our history is not just about growth — it’s about the people and partnerships that have made it all possible. We are honored to have played a role in advancing patient care alongside incredible healthcare providers, and we’re proud to share some reflections from those who have been part of this journey:

“I’ve trusted this team for over 20 years, and their expertise has been invaluable to my practice. Knowing that the leadership and service remain unchanged gives me complete confidence in Oculus Pathology.”

– Suzanne Ledet, M.D., Vice President at Oculus Pathology

“What makes our team different is our personal commitment to patient care. We’re not just a lab — we’re partners in diagnostics. The rebrand makes sense because we have always been forward-thinking.”

– Ed Weir, M.D., President at Oculus Pathology
