Life Doesn’t Stop for Lab Appointments

For many Colorado families, what seems like a “quick” lab visit can easily disrupt an entire morning or afternoon. Consider the numbers:

  • The average one-way commute for Denver-area workers is 25.4 minutes.
  • Roughly 72,000 young children in Colorado have parents working nontraditional hours (before 7 AM, after 6 PM, or weekends).
  • More than 165,000 children under age 6 live in two-parent homes where both parents work — and another 85,000 in single-parent homes with a working caregiver.

That means lab visits often mean lost work hours, missed school, and extra stress.

That’s where ABOLabs’ at-home lab services come in — bringing professional, compliant phlebotomy right to your doorstep on your schedule. No long lines, no traffic, no waiting rooms.


Convenience That Puts Colorado Families First


At-home testing isn’t just a time-saver — it’s about reclaiming balance.

  • Parents can keep working from home or manage their morning routines.
  • Kids and older adults stay in a calm, familiar setting.
  • Samples are safely handled and delivered to your chosen lab, just as they would be in-clinic.

Colorado’s geography makes this even more valuable — from mountain towns to sprawling suburbs, mobile collection removes the biggest barrier families face: getting there.

And while 95% of Colorado children have insurance, many families still struggle with access due to time, transportation, and childcare challenges. ABOLabs closes that gap by meeting families where they are.

Every ABOLabs visit follows HIPAA-compliant, CLIA-aligned procedures.
Our phlebotomists are certified, compassionate, and experienced with all age groups — including pediatric, geriatric, and special-needs draws.

Less chaos, more control.
