Thank you, DeeDee. Good morning, and welcome to LabCorp's first quarter 2026 financial results webcast. With me today are Adam Schechter, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Julia Wang, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. This morning, in the events section of the Labcorp Investor Relations website at ir.labcorp.com, we posted both our press release and a supplemental financial presentation with additional information on our business and operations. We will also host a replay of this webcast on the IR website for one year. On today's webcast, we will focus on our adjusted non-GAAP results for the first quarter of 2026, our capital allocation strategy, and our updated financial guidance for the full year of 2026. Our GAAP results and reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are available in today's earnings release and the supplemental financial presentation. Please see the use of adjusted measures section in the supplemental presentation for more information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures. In today's remarks, the term organic growth excludes the impact from acquisition, divestitures, and currency as well as other strategic actions taken in our early development business. Our remarks will also include forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements about our updated 2026 financial guidance and the assumptions underlying that guidance, the expected impact of various factors on our business operating and financial results, cash flows, and financial conditions, global economic and market conditions, our future business strategies, the expected savings, benefits, and synergies from acquisitions, strategic actions, and partnerships, and our potential opportunities for future growth. Each of these forward-looking statements is subject to change based upon various factors, many of which are beyond our control. More information is included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and the company's other filings with the SEC. We have no obligation to provide any updates to these forward-looking statements, even if our expectations change. Now, I'll turn the call over to LabCorp's Chairman and CEO, Adam Schechter.

Adam?
