Patient care journey
Patients and their families should plan for their first appointment to last about an hour. A blood draw is often done at first visits for medically-complex conditions. This is done on site. Please bring copies of any medical records, logs or notes from health systems outside of Corewell Health. Also bring copies of any out of state, or out of country, vaccination records.
