Infusion Therapy
In-home and outpatient IV therapy for antibiotics, hydration, biologics, and complex medication regimens.
What is Infusion Therapy?
Infusion therapy delivers medication directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line, allowing for treatments that cannot be taken orally. It is used for antibiotics, hydration, pain management, biologics, chemotherapy, and total parenteral nutrition.
Patient Path Hub coordinates home infusion services so patients can receive IV therapy in the comfort of their home, avoiding lengthy hospital or clinic visits when appropriate.
Our partner agencies provide experienced infusion nurses, pharmacy services, supplies, and 24/7 clinical support.

- Patient has a physician order for IV or injectable therapy
- Patient is clinically stable enough to receive infusion outside the hospital
