Infusion Center

What is Infusion Therapy?

Infusion therapy delivers medication, fluids or nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an IV. It's often used when a condition can’t be treated effectively with oral medications. 

At The Iowa Clinic Infusion Center, patients receive care in a comfortable, outpatient setting with a team focused on safety, comfort and personalized treatment. From chronic illness management to cancer care, infusion therapy plays a vital role in helping patients feel better and live healthier lives.

The Iowa Clinic offers the convenience of labs, imaging and infusions now all in one location.
