Infusion therapy customized for your care plan
Located on the second floor of the Rehabilitation Institute, the Specialists at Ascension St. Vincent Evansville Infusion Center in Evansville, Indiana specialize in outpatient infusion therapy. If infusion therapy is recommended as part of your treatment plan, you will receive intravenous (IV) therapy from a team of highly trained nurses and pharmacists. Chemotherapy and many other medications and fluids can be delivered by IV at our infusion centers, using a portable infusion pump. Our compassionate care team pays attention to how you’re feeling and helps you manage symptoms between treatments.
