Infusion therapy involves administering medications, fluids, or therapeutic injections intravenously or subcutaneously under a physician’s direction. Because treatments are delivered directly into the bloodstream, infusion therapy allows medications to take effect quickly and efficiently. This approach is commonly used for patients who require specialized therapies that cannot be taken by mouth or require close monitoring during administration.
At the Lane Infusion Center, patients receive physician-ordered infusion treatments in a clinically supervised outpatient setting. Care is provided in an environment designed to support patient safety and comfort during treatment, with accommodations that allow patients to rest throughout their visit.
Infusion therapy can support patients managing both short-term medical needs and ongoing conditions. At Lane Infusion Center, we provide intravenous infusions and therapeutic injections for a wide range of treatments, including blood product administration, and management of iron deficiency.
We also administer biologic therapies such as IVIG, Entyvio, and Remicade, as well as Reclast® infusions and subcutaneous therapies such as Neupogen®, Prolia®, Leqvio®, and Evenity®. These therapies are often used to help manage chronic conditions that require consistent, carefully monitored treatment plans. In some cases, infusion therapy may also support patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy or receiving specialized medications prescribed by their provider.
By offering these services in an outpatient setting, we enable many patients to receive advanced treatment without a traditional hospital stay.
Infusion therapy requires skilled clinical oversight to ensure patient safety and treatment effectiveness. At Lane Infusion Center, our registered nurse infusion specialists receive ongoing training to stay current with the latest techniques and pharmaceuticals. Each patient’s care is guided by their physician’s orders and supported by our dedicated infusion team.
Our infusion specialists administer medications, monitor patient responses during treatment, track lab results, and provide individualized education related to each therapy. We maintain communication with referring physicians throughout the treatment process to ensure continuity of care and timely updates on patient progress.
This collaborative approach helps our patients feel informed and supported throughout each visit.
To begin treatment, patients have their physician send a referral to the Lane Infusion Center. Our staff works directly with patients to verify insurance coverage, coordinate benefits, schedule appointments, and manage coding and billing related to treatment. Appointment length varies depending on the type of infusion being administered.
Located on the third floor of the Lane Medical Plaza & Outpatient Diagnostic Center in Zachary, our infusion center offers flexible scheduling options designed to accommodate busy lifestyles. From the initial referral through follow-up visits, our goal is to provide dependable care in a setting that prioritizes comfort, safety, and individualized attention.
By combining specialized infusion services with a patient-centered environment, Lane Regional Medical Center supports effective treatment for both chronic and acute conditions while helping patients feel at ease throughout the process.
