Syracuse-based Drakos Clinical Laboratories in November launched its new medical service division, Mobile Integrated Health Services.
Mobile Integrated Health Services will provide general wellness, flu shots and COVID-19 boosters, metabolic testing and analysis, hydration support and fluid infusions (such as electrolytes and B vitamins), weight management, vitamin injections (such as B6, B9, B12, Glutathione, LipoC and NAD injections), and acute illness services in the home, via telehealth, or at the office.
“We think about single parents who need someone to come to them, or senior citizens who rely on others for transportation, as well as anyone who needs medical care in the home because of the risk of exposure at the hospital,” said Drakos founder Heather Drake. “We’ll be open seven days a week, with emergency service available 24 hours a day.”
The leadership team includes physicians Norma Cooney and Derek Cooney, Drakos founder and critical care paramedic Heather Drake, as well as Drakos chief operating officer and former emergency department nurse Richard Nuzzo. The clinical team includes physicians, RNs, LPNs, laboratory technicians, respiratory therapists, dieticians, aestheticians, paramedics, physician associates, nurse practitioners and massage therapists.
The company’s goal is for patients to never have to leave their homes, from scheduling an appointment and having lab work done, to seeing a physician and receiving evaluations. And to have all of this done in a timely manner.
