Our skilled infusion nurses are focused on patient success and positive outcomes while providing the best experience possible. Our services are provided to the adult population age 18 and older.

Before your infusion

We will always take the time to discuss infusion expectations and provide necessary information/education to patients at the time of first dose, however if you have any questions specific to your treatment or plan of care we encourage you to contact your ordering provider prior to your appointment at infusion center. Many of the biologics that we provide require that you NOT be actively sick at time of infusion. That means if you receive a biologic and have any fevers or infections, cough, nausea, new rashes or wounds, you should check with your provider prior to coming in or simply reschedule. (Scheduling for infusions is under “surgical scheduling” at 802-447-5542)

We hope that this information is helpful for you in preparing for your infusion. Many of our patients come for life-long treatments and we hope to gain your trust and confidence throughout our time together. If you have any nursing questions or concerns, you can reach the infusion nurses at 802-447-5506.
