Infusion Clinic
The infusion clinic provides prescription drugs and blood transfusions to patients through infusion therapy. Infusion therapy is commonly used treat cancer, heart failure, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and other medical conditions.
What is Infusion Therapy?
Typically, “infusion therapy” means that a drug is administered intravenously or through other non-oral routes, such as intramuscular injections and epidural routes. Prescription drug therapies commonly administered via infusion include chemotherapy, antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral, hydration, pain management and parenteral nutrition.
What happens during a visit to the Infusion Clinic?
Patients receive injectable medications, intravenous (IV) medication therapy such as antibiotics, disease-specific medications, immunologic agents, as well as blood transfusions in our modern outpatient infusion clinic.
We offer patients a comfortable home-like atmosphere to relax in while they receive their infusion. Every infusion chair has a television to help pass the time during treatment.
Our nurses are trained to provide a variety of infusion services to patients. They are highly skilled in IV placement, have strong assessment skills and are extremely effective in crisis intervention. Most patients require intensive supervision and management due to the risks for infusion reactions. All of our nurses are experienced in infusion therapy.
Registered Nurses (RNs) administer non-chemotherapeutic infusions and testing according to practice guidelines.
As an outpatient facility, our nurses work delivering direct patient care and providing patient and family education.
