Pathologists and medical examiners play an essential role in evaluating the cause of death, in ascertaining public health data, and in providing clarity and closure to grieving family members. While many hospitals and municipalities have their own pathologists and examiners on staff, these personnel are not always available. They get sick, require vacation time, and sometimes need help balancing strenuous caseloads. That is why Saguaro Forensic Consulting is pleased to provide services as a locum tenens pathologist to facilities throughout Indiana and Illinois, supporting staff pathologists while ensuring a consistent continuum of service.
