Home infusion is a safe and effective alternative to hospital inpatient care. The goal of our infusion team is to provide quality care in a safe environment so that patients can maintain their independent lifestyles. Prior to starting infusion therapy at home, a thorough assessment is performed to ensure that the patient is an appropriate candidate for infusion services and to determine what, if any, other services are needed. Specially trained infusion pharmacists, nurses, dietitians and other health care professionals are ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week to monitor therapy, attend to patients' needs, and communicate with their doctors.
