Join Cleveland Clinic's Main Campus where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family.

They will work closely with other caregivers to measure the level of your blood-thinning medication and adjust medication if needed. After visits for at least 3 months, they will help to determine if a home meter might be appropriate for patients to measure the level of their blood-thinning medication. They will also be able to help coordinate plans when needing to stop warfarin for a procedure.
