The infusion clinic will be referral-based and provide treatments for rheumatology, gastroenterology, pulmonary, neurology, dermatology, oncology and other chronic conditions. The independent, physician-managed clinic is staffed by licensed physicians and nurse practitioners and features six semi-private infusion rooms. The clinic accepts insurance from private insurers, as well as Medicare and Medicaid.
