Injections and Lab Draws from licensed nurses
Getting to a lab can be the hardest part of a simple blood test for someone who uses a walker or can't drive. Our nurses bring the lab to the patient.
We draw blood at home as ordered, deliver specimens to the lab, and make sure results reach the right physician. We also give prescribed injections and teach patients and families to give their own when that's the plan.
Our nurses provide injections and lab draws in homes across the San Fernando Valley, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita and Valencia, and the Westside from Brentwood to Bel Air.
