Our Ambulatory Infusion Center ( AIC) Services
Our Outpatient Infusion Center specializes in intravenous (IV) treatments. We offer our patients a comfortable and convenient alternative to receiving infusion services in the hospital or in the emergency room.
Physicians may admit non-emergency, adult patients who are ambulatory and capable of self-care to the Outpatient Infusion Center from their office, hospital, nursing home, or emergency room for short- or long- term infusion therapies that can be accommodated within the operating hours.
To ensure a relaxing environment, we provide well-equipped patient rooms, complete with:
- Hospital beds or comfortable recliners
- Pharmacy on-site to prepare medications
- Chairs for friends, family and visitors
- A comfortable waiting area
- Refreshment area with beverages and light snacks
Our Suites has all-private rooms and is equipped with a bed or recliner, telephone, and TV.
Patients receive their infusion in a comfortable recliner with a blanket warmer, and may listen to music or watch our educational program to help relax while receiving treatments.
