Why Do Physicians Send Their Patients to Heartland?
The costs of hospital care, even on an outpatient basis, continue to climb, as do the types of illness and conditions for which infusion therapy is prescribed, which is why the popularity of IV therapy centers has skyrocketed. However, unlike in many other industries, medical services provided by an outside vendor must be of the highest quality, precision and accuracy. Furthermore, the most successful patent care involves skill and experience as well as compassion, understanding and finesse.
Patient infusion therapy referrals are not like a builder enlisting subcontract help from an independent plumber. Just as individuals have choices about where to obtain their IV therapy, so too do doctors about where to refer their patients. Following is why more doctors choose Heartland Infusion Pharmacy:

We also have access to the top pharmaceutical suppliers for immediate dispense of specialty infusion medications. Long waits for procurement of medications is never an issue at Heartland Infusion Pharmacy. Medications we administer.
