Protime Clinic

Patients on anticoagulation (blood thinning) medications may be referred to one of Skagit Regional Health's Protime Clinics by their primary care provider or cardiologist. Our Protime Clinic nurses monitor patients for possible complications related to their anticoagulation medications (i.e. warfarin, Coumadin) through frequent visits to the Protime Clinic. Protime services are available to patients who are established with an Skagit Regional Health provider.

• Private consultation with a Registered Nurse at each visit who will adjust dosages, schedule and track INRs and monitor bleeding or clotting events
• Our RNs are available to manage anticoagulation therapy prior to procedures
