Anticoagulation Clinic

The Saint Alphonsus Anticoagulation Clinic is a service established to help patients monitor and manage their warfarin therapy. Our clinical pharmacists are available to assist patients with their treatment. The pharmacists check the patient’s blood level (INR) via a fingerstick, and adjust the patient’s warfarin dose as needed. In most cases, the patient will not require a venous blood draw, and will not need to wait for a phone call for dosing instructions. The patient’s referring provider will be consulted if the pharmacist has any questions. Saint Alphonsus is proud to have offered this service to patients and providers since 2005.
