Home infusion therapy

Your treatment doesn't always have to take you away from home. If home infusion is an option for you, we'll bring your medications and nursing care to you. A registered nurse will administer your infusion or injection therapy, with support from our dietitians and pharmacists throughout your treatment. Home infusion may also help lower your treatment costs.
 

How infusion therapy works

Some medications and fluids can't be taken by mouth, so they're given through a flexible tube or catheter instead. The tube is placed into a vein or just under the skin, usually in your arm or chest.
