Eastern and Central PA and New Jersey (June 28, 2016) — House calls aren’t just made by doctors anymore. Phlebotomists at Health Network Laboratories (HNL) have established themselves as key players in the home health care market after recently completing 1,000 house call appointments.
“Over the years we have cultivated very close relationships with many of our patients who live with chronic conditions or who manage the care of their elderly loved ones. We regularly witness how challenging it can be for some people to travel to one of our patient service centers or to transport their elderly family members” said HNL President and CEO, Peter Fisher. “Bringing our services right into their homes seemed like the best way to help. Response to ‘HNL House Calls’ has been phenomenal and we look forward to further expansion of these services.”
HNL House Calls has now grown into a service benefiting people throughout the Lehigh Valley and has also recently expanded into New Jersey and the Harrisburg area. With HNL House Calls, patients are in control of their own timetables and can schedule home visits at their own convenience.
“Our phlebotomists have forged meaningful relationships with many patients through House Calls,” said Lori Borelli, Director of Phlebotomy Services. “We can be better care givers when our patients are relaxed and in their home.”
The convenience appeals to everyone — from mothers of young children and individuals with busy careers, to caretakers of elderly loved ones and people with transportation challenges.
Some testimonials from patients:
“Absolutely the most helpful, convenient way to manage one’s personal healthcare. Thank you!”
“Felt like family coming for a visit. Friendly, kind, respectful and understanding.”
