EVOLVING THE VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC MARKET
Our Founder cut her teeth in the trenches, updating and managing the lab of an equine emergency and referral hospital for years. Since then, we've consulted with numerous practices on all aspects of their lab services, from start-ups and established practices of different types and sizes from coast to coast, from small animal to equine-only and exotic species-specialists.

Rachel A. Lemcke, BS, MS
Founder of Amwell Data Services LLC
Independent Veterinary Laboratory Consultant
After nearly four years serving as Lab Manager at a large, private equine referral hospital, Rachel saw a need for strategic planning of lab services. She founded Amwell Data Services to help give veterinarians and their teams more margin, with the larger goals of helping make careers in veterinary medicine more sustainable, increasing access to care, and advocating for a more equitable market.
Beyond the lab, she's an avid orchid grower and enthusiast, watercolor and acrylics painter, and adoptive mom of the late, beloved farm cat "Sneakers" (2005-2025).

Dean Cornwell, MT (ASCP), DVM, PhD
Veterinary Clinical Pathologist, Laboratory Diagnostician
Dr. Cornwell trained as a Medical Technologist and worked in human labs for 14 years, before and during his studies in vet school and residency/graduate school. He worked for IDEXX for 23 years as a clinical pathologist and clinical pathology manager, and more recently for Antech as director of clinical product development. He is currently a freelance diagnostic consultant and clinical pathologist.
His extensive background and experience in laboratory medicine includes methods of achieving and maintaining standardization, test development, validation, data interpretation and comment development as well as understanding, application of, and interpretation of quality assurance programs across multiple testing platforms, including molecular methods.
He enjoys helping laboratories work through difficulties and troubleshoot problems in order to maintain or ensure quality of reported data and to help clinicians who may find some of the idiosyncratic lab processes tedious or troublesome.
Outside of pathology, he enjoys spending time with his wife and sons, being outdoors, and at the gym.
