Employee Spotlight Tyvae:
I am from Norfolk and have been a medical assistant at ECS for 4 years. I like working for ECS because I enjoy helping people and being a part of a team that works together to provide great care and support to patients. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my children, relaxing, and focusing on continuing my education as a nurse.

Fasting Blood Work:
Here are some things to do in preparation for your lab appointment:
Here are a few tips to achieve that goal:
Fast - nothing to eat or drink (except water) 4 hours prior to your appointment. There is no need to stop your medication.
Hydrate - Please drink water 24hrs prior to your appointment. Being well hydrated can help make your veins more prominent and easier to access.
Communicate - Inform the phlebotomist about any previous difficulties with past blood draws, such as small or rolling veins, or passing out.
