Infusion Therapy

High-Tech. High-Touch.

The Infusion Center provides short- and long-term medication therapies in a comfortable outpatient setting. Our infusion therapy center is designed for patients who may not require hospitalization, those who may need home care, or those who prefer the ease and convenience of clinical, outpatient appointments. Treatments are delivered intravenously (IV), intramuscularly (IM), and subcutaneously (SQ).

What is Infusion Therapy?

Patients may need infusion therapy if they are ill with a complex disease or cannot take medication orally.

Patients may be prescribed infusion therapy for various reasons. For example, infusion therapy is often used to treat serious infections that would not respond to oral antibiotics or antiviral pills. Diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may indicate the need for infusion therapy, such as nausea-induced dehydration, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, or serious autoimmune diseases like Crohn’s colitis. Therapies also include those for asthma, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, anemia, and ulcerative colitis
