Building financial understanding across Team Hardy.

Recently, our CFO, Jeff Schroder, led a Hardy Town Hall focused on financial education and transparency. Since Hardy Diagnostics is 100% owned by the workers, this gave the Owners an opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the financial side of the business, and better understand how we’re working toward our goals together.

We appreciate everyone who participated and helped make it an engaging conversation.

Recently, Team Hardy came together for our 2026 Summer Olympic Picnic at Waller Park in Santa Maria, California.

Events like this are a great opportunity to bring our Hardy families together for a day of fun, food, and friendly competition. From the games to shaved ice, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Since we are all owners of Hardy Diagnostics, we are especially grateful for the work that our teammates do every day and the support that they get from their families.

Recently our founder, Jay Hardy, and amateur aviation archaeologist, Steve Stuart, delivered an in-depth presentation on the history of the P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft.

The presentation highlighted the remarkable P-38 and the important role it played during World War II. Jay Hardy also shared the history of the Santa Maria Airport, which served as a critical training facility for over 600 courageous pilots who were taught to fly the iconic P-38s from 1942 to 1945 in Santa Maria, California.

During the presentation, Steve Stuart displayed and discussed numerous artifacts recovered from three of the over 100 crash sites crash sites throughout the Santa Maria Valley and Santa Lucia Mountains, offering attendees a tangible connection to the region’s aviation history.

Civic leaders, senior staff and board members from the Santa Maria Airport were in attendance, along with interested Hardy Diagnostics employees. The evening included a delicious taco dinner served to all attendees.

We are grateful to Jay and Steve for sharing their treasured knowledge and experience with us.
