Combining Clinical Excellence with Compassionate Care
We understand the challenges, both physical and emotional, that affect every patient and their loved ones. That is why our team of Registered Nurses are experienced in infusion services, certified in chemotherapy administration and available to provide information and answer questions. Patient and family education is an essential part of your care. We encourage all of our patients to be informed and active partners in their treatment and healing process. Whether it is special instructions for taking care during and after treatments, or tips to help reduce unpleasant side effects associated with some infusions. We help treat the disease and care for the whole person - our patient.
Services We Offer
- Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with powerful medications to destroy cancer cells by stopping their growth and reproduction. Often referred to as "anti-cancer" drugs, they are most often administered intravenously (IV) or by injection or orally. Chemotherapy can be used alone, or in conjunction with radiation therapy or surgery.
- Blood transfusions - Administration of blood components such as red blood cells, platelets and plasma when individuals have low blood counts due to various illnesses.
- Intravenous antibiotic treatment - to treat infections.
- Subcutaneous injections - Administration of injectible drugs such as those used to boost production of red or white blood cells, or in anticoagulant therapy.
- Hydration therapy - Infusion therapy to treat dehydration in patients undergoing chemotherapy or persons dehydrated due to insufficient fluid intake.
- Bone marrow withdrawal - For testing and diagnosis.
- Blood draws for lab tests - A convenient service that eliminates the need for Infusion Center patients go to other locations for related blood tests to monitor the treatment.
