Sherry Pouncey is the co-owner of ARCpoint Labs, a clinical lab specializing in affordable clinical testing for patients with no or high deductible insurance. ARCpoint also performs Medicare wellness exams, life insurance physicals, drug and alcohol testing, DNA, pre-employment background screens, corporate wellness programs and DOT compliance including random programs and physicals. It provides drug screen programs for several local schools and also manages random drug programs for families and individuals.
“As a locally owned ARCpoint Labs franchisee, we offer the personal service of a local business with the resources and network of a national brand,” Pouncey said.
“My husband and I researched business opportunities that would allow us both to work in areas that would maximize our professional strengths. As a nurse, this was an easy professional transition. I run the lab and office every day. My husband handles development. ... Our philosophy is simple: We provide caring, professional services in a variety of work environments. Whether in business, raising children or life in general, the right way is the only way. With that in mind, we’ll be successful.”
ARCpoint allows her to make a true difference in others’ lives, which as a former nurse is important to her.
“Being a nurse, you have the privilege and obligation to make a difference in the lives of your patients. It’s no different at ARCpoint. Whether it’s offering professionalism and respect while performing discreet testing like paternity or infidelity or helping someone understand their lab results, it’s my opportunity to make a difference.”
