Home infusion therapy is the administration of intravenous (through a vein) medication, such as antibiotics and chemotherapy, to patients in their own homes. Small, portable pumps which allow medication to be administered to the patient through an IV (intravenous) line make it possible for many patients to go about their normal daily activities while receiving their medicine.

 

Patients receiving home infusion enjoy the satisfaction of returning to their own surroundings, resuming daily activities, taking an active role in their own care, and even, when appropriate, returning to work. These activities offer significant emotional benefits that, in turn, facilitate healing. In addition to these benefits, home infusion is a highly cost-effective approach to IV therapy.

 

Our Infusion Primary Care Team is composed of a nurse, pharmacist, reimbursement representative and a patient services coordinator. We work under the direction of the patient's primary care physician.
