Home Infusion Therapy
If your prescribed therapies can be safely managed at home, home infusion therapy may offer you an alternative to lengthy hospital stays.
Under the guidance and instruction of registered nurses and pharmacists skilled in high-tech services, you or the person you are caring for can receive and administer your own infusion therapies.
Baptist Health Home Infusion is housed in its Lexington office, but is available across the state. Baptist Health Home Infusion is licensed as an outpatient pharmacy to provide comprehensive infusion therapy services to all counties in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
