Working with Out of Town Physicians
Treatments normally requiring a trip out of town can be given at the Outpatient Infusion Center. Local physicians are contacted to help coordinate treatment orders. This allows for care closer to home!
How to Obtain Services
A physician must order all treatments/medications given at the Outpatient Infusion Center. An appointment is then made. Patients are required to check in with the Admissions desk.
The Outpatient Infusion Center rooms are located on the East side of 5th floor in the main hospital building. A registered nurse will then take a brief medical history ant then the treatment or medication will be provided. Further appointments can then be scheduled based on orders.
