The professional skills and compassionate care of the physicians and staff at the Cancer Care Center make it an ideal location to receive treatment for a multitude of conditions unrelated to cancer.
Hematology Services:
The physicians perform full evaluations and diagnostic testing for individuals with a variety of hematology problems including:
- Anemia
- low or high white blood cell counts
- platelet problems
- immunologic problems
- and conditions leading to bleeding or blood clotting.
Such conditions can often be treated with oral medications, specialized shots or other appropriate treatment. Improvement of anemia in patients with cardiac or pulmonary problems can add substantially to the individual's quality of life.
Treatments available through our Infusion services include:
- Blood or blood component therapy
- Iron infusion for Iron Deficiency Anemia
- IV antibiotics
- Steroid infusions for patients with Multiple Sclerosis
- Hydration and/or electrolyte replacement for dehydrated patients
- Specialized treatments for Crohn’s disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Gammaglobulin for immune deficiencies or other conditions
The Cancer Center physicians are available during infusions to evaluate any unexpected problems adding to the safety of the care provided.
The comfortable infusion chairs, with personal televisions, and the views through the windows to the Healing Garden located behind the center, make it a convenient, easily accessible location to receive infusion therapy.
