Blood test in Almelo.

At six addresses spread across the city. Right in the centre you draw at MC de Kolk on the Bornerbroeksestraat; in the Nieuwstraatkwartier at MC van Gogh; in Noord at the de Klokkenbelt health centre and the Verdilaan health centre; at the ZGT clinic on the Zilvermeeuw; and in Zuid at Medisch Centrum Almelo on the Buitenhof. Unilabs Medlon handles the draws, the lab Twente GPs send their blood to every day, so you draw at the same addresses as always, only now on your own initiative.

Then you need not go into Almelo. The de Zonnehoed health centre in Wierden is five kilometres from the centre, MC Vriezenveen on the Koningsweg and MC Albergen seven, and Borne has two addresses eight kilometres away with Fleminghof and 't Dijkhuis. Enter, Geesteren, Tubbergen and Westerhaar each have a draw point too, and towards Salland Rijssen and Delden take over. The list on this page is sorted by distance from the centre.

MC de Kolk is within walking distance of Almelo station; the Klokkenbelt and the Verdilaan are about ten minutes by bike, the ZGT has its own car park and at the health centres in the villages you park at the door. You book a time slot in the app, so you do not wait, and the draw itself takes a few minutes. At Poli ZGT Almelo you can also walk in without an appointment: you pick a one-hour arrival window in the app and confirm you are coming. Come fasted: only water from midnight, so preferably book an early morning slot.

Core is the standard: a yearly blood test with a personal action plan, your biological age and trends at every retest, for a fixed amount per day. If you would rather measure once first, the comprehensive test is there as a single blood test, at the same Almelo locations and with the same explanations in the app. No referral, no waiting list, no note from your GP.
