The Infusion Center at St. Anthony Community Hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), provides top-notch care and a comfortable setting for patients requiring infusion treatment. Infusion therapy, when medication is provided via a catheter or needle, is an option when oral medications are not effective. The St. Anthony Community Hospital Infusion Center treats and monitors numerous medical conditions in a hospital environment – but patients are healthy enough that they do not have to be admitted to the hospital. This outpatient care, available seven days a week in Warwick, helps patients optimize their time while receiving quality medical assistance.
- A team of highly skilled oncology and infusion nurses delivers personalized care. Infusion treatments can include:
- • Long-term intravenous antibiotic therapy
- • Blood transfusions
- • Chemotherapy
- • Central catheter line maintenance
- • Hydration, iron infusions and therapeutic phlebotomy
- • Drug therapy for Crohn's disease
The Infusion Center's services are comprehensive. The team works closely with each patient's physician and educates patients about the process, discusses medical goals and adjusts medications as necessary. Providing a personal touch is St. Anthony Community Hospital's culture of care. Patients, during therapy, enjoy comfortable reclining chairs in a warm, private environment.
