What is infusion therapy?

Infusion therapy delivers medication, often intravenously through the vein, directly through a needle or catheter. For cancer treatments, the most common infusion therapy is chemotherapy. While surgery and radiation therapy targets specific body areas, chemotherapy is a powerful treatment that destroys cancer cells and helps prevent tumor growth.

The Emanate Health Infusion Center is an all-in-one space that provides you with a compassionate environment, high-quality infusion therapy procedures, and supportive services. Your medical team is here to take care of you and to help you fight cancer.

Here are steps in the treatment process

• Emanate Health staff will coordinate with you on your treatment schedule.
• Your oncologist will perform additional exams and tests to determine the amount of chemotherapy for your treatment, along with any additional supportive medications.
• You will meet with your infusion therapy care team to review your treatment plan. Additional tests may be conducted to ensure you are receiving the correct treatment amount.
• Oncology pharmacists will prepare your customized treatment on-site in a sterile environment. They are part of your care team and coordinate with your oncologists and nurses on your infusion medication.
• You will be seated in the infusion bays, or a private room, to receive your treatment.
• After your treatment is completed, your nurse will review potential side effects and provide recommendations to mediate any symptoms.
• Check with your oncologist on your personalized treatment timeline as procedures vary depending on your diagnosis and personal health factors.

Additional recommendations

• Bring a friend or family member to keep you company during your treatments. However, those who are sick should not accompany you as they would be a health risk to you and other patients receiving treatments.
• Bring any items that will help you pass time. We have free Wi-Fi and an iPad available to entertain you. You can also bring books, headphones, or your laptop. Check with your nurse navigator if you are uncertain whether your item is allowed.
• Wear comfortable clothing during your treatment. We will provide you with blankets if needed, and you are welcome to bring items that will keep you comfortable.
• Drink plenty of fluids before your treatment.
• Bring any easy-to-eat snacks and drinks that are recommended by your oncologists that you can consume during your treatment. Avoid bringing any foods that need additional preparation, such as microwaved meals.
