The Practice includes a full-service infusion center which currently has four infusion nurses and two patient care technicians. We have on-site phlebotomy so that the appropriate labs can be drawn without confusion. We have experienced a robust amount of growth in the last 3.5 years we have been open and we are continuing to expand our services. We will discuss this thoroughly in our meeting with the ideal candidates. We are grateful for the strong community support from Primary Care Providers and the regional specialists.
