Infusion Center Services
Our team offers comprehensive service and monitors each patient’s care plan closely.
The Infusion Center provides infusions of prescribed medications, including those for chemotherapy treatment, neurological treatment, and hydration therapies. We will also oversee, as needed, maintenance of a central-line catheter, outpatient therapy, and many other FDA-approved parenteral medications.
Benefits of Infusion Center Care
At the UTHealth Houston Neurosciences Infusion Center, a physician oversees each care plan, and the care team remains consistent, allowing for streamlined communication. Medications will be provided in a timely manner, their effectiveness will be closely monitored, and treatments will be adjusted as needed.
Our care team will also work with you to ensure your labs are completed as soon as possible – typically within 72 hours of your scheduled infusion day. Our team will also prepare and administer prescribed medications, supplies, and equipment.
Patients can also be taught to self-administer medication for use at home, when indicated.
Collaboration with Referring Physicians
Throughout the evaluation and treatment process, referring physicians are kept informed about patient progress, and we encourage continued communication about a patient’s plan of care.
