Blood Thinners

Blood thinners help prevent dangerous blood clots—but they must be carefully managed. At OMC’s Anticoagulation Clinic, patients receive expert monitoring, education, and support to stay safe and avoid complications like bleeding or stroke.

Patients managed by our specialized clinic have fewer clotting and bleeding problems than those without dedicated anticoagulation care.

Why Choose OMC’s Anticoagulation Clinic?

  • More than 1,000 patients served
  • Highly experienced nursing team with specialized anticoagulation training
  • Coordinated care with your primary and specialty providers
  • Proven results with fewer bleeding and clotting complications

Why Monitoring Matters

Blood thinners affect how fast your blood clots. Without proper monitoring, they can lead to:

  • excessive bleeding
  • dangerous clots
  • stroke or other serious complications.

Our clinic uses regular testing and close follow-up to keep your treatment safe and effective.

Who We Help

You may need anticoagulation care if you have:

  • an artificial heart valve
  • a history of blood clots
  • a clotting disorder
  • recent surgery or limited movement
  • a medical condition that increases clot risk.

Patients are referred by their healthcare provider.
