NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens Adds Saturday Hours for Phlebotomy Services

Mar 21, 2018

Jamaica, NY

NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens has added Saturday hours for patients who need phlebotomy services (i.e., blood drawn for testing) at the hospital. In addition to its normal weekday hours, phlebotomy services are now available every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

“Extending service hours will give our patients additional scheduling options and lighten weekday patient flow to reduce wait time,” said Chris Roker, CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens. “As a leader in delivering excellent patient- and family centered care, NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens is committed to providing our patients with an exceptional experience by always being responsive to their needs.”

“We provide phlebotomy services to more than 250 patients a day, and during peak traffic, wait times can be longer than we’d like,” said Sylvia Chin, the hospital’s director of the phlebotomy services. “We are confident these additional hours will help improve the overall patient experience.”

Phlebotomy services are provided on the ground floor of the main hospital building.
