“Chino Valley doesn’t have another option,” she said.
Susann Sullivan, director of Lab Services for Dignity Health, said this service is vital for patients and they will have the test results by the next morning. “Chino Valley doesn’t have another option,” she said. “Yavapai Regional Medical Center has always invested in people and I’m proud of our team because they do an excellent job.”
The blood draw station will have three employees, with one registration worker and two lab assistants, also known as phlebotomists. The blood draw station will be open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Sullivan anticipates that the blood draw station will serve up to 80 patients a day on a walk-in basis. This is Dignity Health’s fifth location for blood and other tests as they have free standing blood test locations in Prescott and Prescott Valley as well as at the two hospitals in those two cities.
Jeremy Murdock, chief operating officer for Dignity Health, said the blood draw center will be good for the community and it is great that the blood draw center is adjacent to Dignity Health’s Medical Center in Chino Valley.
“I’m thrilled that we have an additional place that will make it easier and convenient for the community,” said Dignity Health COO Jeremy Murdock. QCBN
