A waiting room full of strangers can make a child’s blood draw harder for everyone. At home, kids can sit on a parent’s lap, hold a favorite toy and take the time they need.
Our phlebotomists collect pediatric specimens with appropriately sized equipment and a patient, step-by-step approach. A parent or legal guardian must be present and provide consent for every minor.
What’s included
Child-sized supplies
Smaller-gauge needles and pediatric tubes when appropriate.
Unhurried visits
Time to explain, distract and comfort before the draw.
Siblings together
Several family members can be drawn in one visit.
