CVPH Diagnostic Center, Valcour Welcome Walk-In Blood Draw Customers

Appointments can still be scheduled by calling (518) 562-7340 

PLATTSBURGH, NY (06/09/2021) — Beginning Monday, June 21, the University of Vermont Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) Diagnostic Center at 89 Plaza Blvd. and Valcour Imaging at 16 DeGrandpre Way will once again welcome walk-in customers for blood draws.

Appointments, made by calling the CVPH Scheduling Department (518) 562-7340 will continue to take priority while walk-in customers will be seen based on the order of arrival.

The Diagnostic Center is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Valcour Imaging is open Monday through Friday and is scheduling appointments from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Walk-in customers are welcome between 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The CVPH requirement to schedule all non-urgent and elective procedures, including blood draws began in May 2020 to support COVID-19 social distancing recommendations as the hospital resumed services. Customer feedback, a decline in the region’s incidence of COVID-19 and an increase in the number of COVID vaccinations has prompted the resumption of limited walk-in service for blood draws.
