Who we are

OAB+ Blood Collection Inc launched in 2019 as a private blood collection service in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia by Lisa Campbell, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who specialized in long term and senior care.

When her mother was diagnosed with a blood disorder, Lisa, who is passionate about helping people, wanted to enhance her knowledge and skills in hematology (the study of blood in health and disease) and completed Nova Scotia',s Provincial phlebotomy course. 

Lisa opened OAB+ Blood Collection Inc ​knowing that not all people can, or want to, go to a hospital or clinic for blood collection, and that a home-collection business would help many. Lisa enjoys visiting clients in the comfort of their own home and hopes it makes life just a little easier for them.

Since its beginnings, OAB+ Blood Collection Inc has experienced tremendous growth.

Today, OAB+ Blood Collection Inc has two licensed Phlebotomists to draw blood, two Continuing Care Assistants, and an Office Manager. Lisa’s team members ensure her high standards are met with care, compassion, and a warm sense of humour.

​In addition to meeting with clients in their homes, OAB+ Blood Collection Inc holds blood collections clinics in Canning, Berwick and Wolfville, which have proven to be extremely valuable for many rural clients. The support from the community for this service has been tremendous! Thank you!!
