New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health has expanded outpatient infusion therapy services at the R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Center in Lake Success, N.Y.
The $1.1 million expansion includes eight infusion bays, a separate entrance, waiting area and three nursing stations, according to a June 2 news release from the health system.
The infusion center will serve patients undergoing bone marrow transplants, CAR-T cell therapy and other cellular therapies in an outpatient setting, allowing them to return home for recovery before their next treatment.
Around-the-clock patient support services will ensure “continuous care and assistance beyond hospital walls,” A. Samer Al-Homsi, MD, system chief of blood and marrow transplant and cellular therapy, said in the release.
