Where can you get a blood test in Houten?

In Houten itself at the Saltro draw point on the Hofspoor, right next to Houten station and a few minutes from the Rond. Saltro is the lab Houten GPs send their blood to every day, so you draw at the same address as always, only now on your own initiative.

02 Surroundings

Live on the edge, or work in Utrecht or Nieuwegein?

Then there is an address on the way too. The Kromme Rijn health centre in Bunnik and the village hall in Odijk are five kilometres from the centre of Houten, and on the Utrecht side Oeral in Lunetten and Hoograven on the Oud-Wulvenlaan take over. Nieuwegein counts four addresses within six kilometres with the Schans, the Componist, the Boogstede and Batau, and Hoef en Haag has its own GP post. The list below is sorted by distance from the centre.

03 Practical

How do you get there and how long does it take?

The Hofspoor is a minute's walk from Houten station, so anyone taking the train to Utrecht draws on the way; from any district it is ten minutes by bike, and you can park at the station. You book a time slot in the app, so you do not wait, and the draw itself takes a few minutes. At Unilabs/Saltro Houten 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: no food for 8 to 12 hours, water is fine, so preferably book an early morning slot.
