Benefits
Our experienced Injection & Infusion Center staff follows exact guidelines for ensuring that the medications administered are always kept in a sterile environment. The surrounding environment, like the positioning of comfortable chairs, is designed with patients in mind, ensuring stability and sterility at all times. Medical professionals keep accurate charts on dosages and schedules to promote optimal infusion of medications, and prevent adverse reactions and interactions with other medications. When vascular access devices like ports are used, our staff ensures they are properly and routinely flushed to ensure optimal delivery. Our staff will also monitor the delivery of medication closely, to ensure the process is safe, from start to finish.
Here’s How to Get Started
Long-term infusion therapies are costly, especially if administered as a hospital inpatient. Outpatient centers like ours provide top-notch care under the supervision of highly trained medical professionals, all at a lower cost. The service is normally covered by insurance companies, but patients will require a doctor’s order. However, your doctor does not need to be affiliated with Trinity Health System in order for you to receive care at our Center.
