For nursing homes & long-term care

A dependable route between your facility and the lab

Standing daily specimen pickups, STAT runs when a resident’s result can’t wait, pharmacy deliveries, and records transport — one courier your DON and administrator can rely on.

Skilled-nursing and long-term-care facilities run on routine: daily specimen pickups to the reference lab, medication deliveries from the pharmacy, and the occasional STAT run when a resident’s condition changes. Vitalis Courier Service is built to make that routine dependable.

The service is built around that routine: the same courier on the same daily schedule, every specimen tracked against its stability window, and each handoff between your nursing station and the courier captured for the record.
