The outpatient Infusion Therapy Center located at Banner Lassen Medical Center has been providing excellent patient care for specialty outpatient needs since August 1999. 

Outpatient treatment is more cost effective and less expensive than inpatient treatment, and the benefits of family and social ties are maintained because the patient can stay at home while visiting the Infusion Therapy Center.

The Infusion Therapy Center serves patients referred by physicians in Susanville and outlying areas. The Center is staffed by experienced nurses specializing in, but not limited to, intravenous care, central line, catheter, wound, and chemotherapy care. There are more than 1,900 patient visits each year to the Infusion Therapy Center.

Treatments offered:

• Chemotherapy
• Blood transfusions
• Platelet transfusions
• Injections, including but not limited to, Rhogam, Neupogen, Epogen and Interferon
• I.V. and injectable antibiotics
• Hydration and electrolyte replacement
• Dressing changes of all types
• Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), maintenance and replacement
• Midline placement
• Care of long-term central catheters including flushing, cap changes, site dressing changes and repairs as needed
• Urethral catheter changes and long term maintenance
• Wound care, including outpatient wound vacs
• Any other type of service that can be done as an outpatient and requires a Registered Nurse

We have a large library of reading materials and educational videos relating to cancer, treatment, and methods of dealing with specific side effects.
