About Us
- IHLC is owned and operated by Kathy Valusek (DNP, MSN, MPH, RN), a nurse practitioner certified in geriatrics and who has more than 30 years of experience with direct patient care.
- IHLC was created when the founders saw a huge need for laboratory specimen collection for patients who “fall through the cracks” by not qualifying for homecare (e.g. they are not “homebound”) but who need a lab draw for their care team to make clinical decisions and for whom the patient or caregiver have difficulty with transportation and scheduling for specimen collection.
- Since 2002 IHLC has provided laboratory technicians (i.e. phlebotomists) to collect and transport specimens to laboratories of choice. These skilled and very experienced phlebotomists almost always draw blood on the first attempt and are sensitive to the needs of the client in their home.
- IHLC is the only company in the Twin Cities providing in-home blood draws that is Medicare Certified and has a Minnesota Department of Health Comprehensive Homecare license.
