Outpatient Infusion Center
Hancock Health’s Outpatient Infusion Center features a broad range of non-oncology infusions in comfortable suites, including specialty infusions such as Alzheimer’s disease therapies, antibiotic infusions, rheumatologic and other biologic treatments. Whether for a single treatment or continuous therapy, our center allows patients to receive complex infusion care close to home.
What to Expect
A welcoming environment with a calming and comfortable private treatment station staffed skilled and experienced infusion nurses providing you with safe and effective delivery of medications. You will have access to Wi-Fi, TV, warm blankets, beverages, and you may have a guest. However, children under the age of 18 are not permitted, due to the sensitivity of immuno-compromised patients. You also may bring any comfort items from home – iPad, headphones, computer, and snacks and beverages.
Our pharmacy staff are also an important part of your care. They may meet with you to review your current medications and can address any questions or concerns you may have.
What is Infusion Therapy
Infusion therapy involves giving medicine through intravenous injection (IV). Sometimes, receiving antibiotics or other medicine by infusion can be a more effective way to treat your condition than oral medications. It is commonly used to deliver chemotherapy, antibiotics, hydration, certain treatments, and more. Depending on your personalized treatment plan, your infusion therapy can last from one hour to several hours.
