Infusion Therapy
Infusion Therapy at Mille Lacs Health System is a separate unit at the hospital specifically designated for those patients needing therapies that do not require hospitalization, but are essential to care, either temporarily or on an ongoing basis.
Our department also works in cooperation with the Mille Lacs Health System Lab, Clinic, Acute Care, and Long Term Care. We fulfill needs for patients that come from many facilities, including St. Cloud Hospital and Coburn Cancer Center.
Therapies we offer include:
- IV therapies (chemo, antibiotics, biotherapies, etc.)
- Catheter change
- Central line care
- Wound care
- Electrolyte replacement
- Therapeutic Phlebotomies
- PICC lines and ports
- Blood transfusions
Convenient care, close to home
The infusion space is bright, airy, and quiet, with several private bays and one enclosed room. Nurses can closely monitor patients during treatments. Additionally, computers at the chairside are available for patients to check email, watch TV, or browse the Internet. A kitchenette provides light snacks and hydration.
