ABOUT SPEEDY STICKS

Who We Are

Speedy Sticks is a mobile concierge phlebotomy service that provides at-home blood draws and on-site diagnostic/health screenings for businesses and individuals. Our goal is to make healthcare more accessible to all who need it by providing high-quality services from the comfort, security, and privacy of your own home or place of business.

Our services involve sending one of our professionals to your home to collect specimens, where they will then be sent to our various local laboratories we work with. Results are then reported to you (the patient) or your ordering provider.

We’re dedicated to keeping you healthy, by helping you manage chronic conditions, diagnose new ones early, or test for acute infections (such as COVID-19). Speedy Sticks is also HIPAA compliant, meaning all of your information is safe and secure.
