Our nurses and staff provide a wide array of treatments to patients needing special ambulatory procedures such as IV therapy, injections, catheter maintenance, management of blood disorders, pain procedures, urinary catheter maintenance or specialty IV line maintenance. Our staff works extensively with patients who require IV therapy for hydration, antibiotics, iron treatments or electrolyte imbalances. Antibiotic therapy may be short or long term, lasting up to eight weeks.
As an example, patients may require daily, weekly or monthly IV medication administration that cannot be administered at home. Our clinic provides a wide range of services for the community, many of which offer convenience and save time by not requiring people to travel.
