If you suffer from a condition that can't be effectively treated by oral medications, your doctor may prescribe infusion therapy. The good news is that you don't have to stay in the hospital for your infusion care. Instead, we offer high quality infusion services that you can receive at home through Geisinger Home Infusion Services..
Infusion therapy is the administration of medications into your body either through your bloodstream (intravenous or IV), under your skin (subcutaneous or intramuscular) or into the membranes surrounding the spinal cord (epidural). You may need infusion therapy for pain management, dehydration, nutrition deficiency, infections, or conditions such as immune deficiency, cancer or anemia (lower than normal red blood cells) or you may need formula through a feeding tube.
We use state-of-the-art infusion equipment to help you live independently in the comfort of your own home. Most medications can be delivered to your home and our team of pharmacists and case management nurses will coordinate care with your physician, home health agency or skilled nursing facility.
