A new outpatient infusion center is now open in Henderson County, offering residents a more convenient location for essential treatments. The facility, operated by UNC Health Pardee, is situated on the second floor of the Henderson County Health Sciences Center.
This expansion brings vital infusion services closer to home for many patients, eliminating the need for longer commutes for recurring therapies. The center is designed to provide a comfortable and modern environment for individuals receiving treatments for a wide range of conditions, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and other complex illnesses requiring intravenous medication.
The new site features private infusion bays to ensure patient privacy and comfort during treatment sessions. A dedicated team of nurses and clinical staff, specializing in infusion therapy, will provide personalized care. This local access is expected to significantly reduce travel burdens for patients and their families, allowing them to focus more on healing and less on logistics.
Officials stated that the center is a direct response to the growing healthcare needs of the community. By integrating this service into the Health Sciences Center, patients may also benefit from closer coordination with other specialists and services available within the building. The opening represents a continued investment in making comprehensive, high-quality medical care readily accessible to all residents of the region.
