Patient Education
Arrive well-hydrated, wear comfortable clothing, and bring any required documentation. Your care team will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after the infusion.
Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, your prescription or referral documents, and anything that helps you stay comfortable during the session such as a book, snacks, or headphones.
