Alpha Phlebotomy Group began with a mission; “To Serve More Patients Better”. Ed & Kristin Cutler started their journey in the mobile Phlebotomy industry in 1995 when a national laboratory approached them and asked if they could serve one of their customers with an “On Site Health Fair” Before on site was really heard of. Ed Cutler was serving this laboratory on a small scale by Teaching a Phlebotomy Program he wrote and many of the new phlebotomists were now being hired and his School was getting noticed for the quality of the students coming from the program. Meeting the Need, they devised a system for an “On-Site” health fair and performed collections for 4 locations.

Mr. Cutler was contacted about a month after the health fairs by the coordinator and was
told that they have a rating system and that he scored the highest out of all the locations Nationally.
Therefore, they asked if he would be willing to serve most of their locations the following year. Not
knowing or thinking anything of it… Mr. Cutler agreed. That following Year, he went to a meeting for the upcoming health fairs and was given a list of 87 locations nationally totaling 28,000 employees. With a deep breath and a little shock… not letting the customer see, he agreed. Ed & Kristin then created the system and scheduled all the collections around the United States. They purchased a Motorhome and set out on the journey to complete the requested health fairs between May and August. A family member traveled with them to watch their kids while the 2 of them worked the events. Ed Cutler drew all 28,000 plus participants while his wife Kristin helped with Biometrics and Processing. That went on for 5 years every summer until the company began to grow simply by word of mouth.

Soon, they were getting calls from Companies for Drug Testing, Health Fairs etc. Some participants in the health fairs were Scientists, and soon they were getting calls from Scientists all over the globe asking for collections. The demand just kept getting larger and they had to begin contracting phlebotomists around the globe. It was a challenge at first ensuring that what they expected for patient care was carried out to every patient internationally. After 25 years in this field, they have a solid Foundation for an onboarding process and ensuring that every patient is taken care of exceptionally.

Mr. Cutler has been asked to provide blood draws worldwide, from High Profile recurring patients in
Hollywood, running a Health Fair in Munich Germany for 10,000 Doctors and health care professionals throughout Europe, running a Clinical Trial throughout the UK, to drawing blood on a Live TV Morning show in front of Millions of people. He has been featured in documentaries, Published in Science and research publications for the work they have done, NY Times, Washington Post doing health fairs for the Homeless with SOME, and many more.
He is highly sought after as a speaker for symposiums on Phlebotomy and Specimen Quality Control, and Expert consultant for IRB’s collection procedure processes. He has consulted for many Scientists on collection protocols including NIH and CDC Epidemiology collection Protocols, He is truly a people person and ready to lend a helping hand… especially helping other phlebotomy entrepreneurs to start and run their own phlebotomy business.
