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.

We collaborate and fulfill needs for patients that come from many facilities, helping keep their healthcare as close to home as possible. Our department also works in cooperation with the Mille Lacs Health System Lab, Clinic, Acute Care, and Long Term Care.

Good to Know

If you or a loved one is visiting or vacationing in the area and you need any type of infusion therapy, there’s no need to drive far or return home just to receive it. Call 320-532-2416 to get set up so you can spend as much time doing what you came to the area to do.

  • IV therapies (chemo, antibiotics, biotherapies, etc.)
  • Catheter change
  • Central line care
  • Wound care
  • Electrolyte replacement/Fluid replacement

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.
