We are happy to announce The Bellevue Hospital has a new dedicated area for a number of ambulatory care procedures. This on-site center provides patients convenient and high-quality infusion or injection therapy, in a private, outpatient setting. The Ambulatory Care Center opened Tuesday, Sept. 3.
For some patients, the best treatment option is to receive medication through an IV rather than orally. Infusion and injection therapy is used to treat medical conditions that cannot be treated at home, yet do not require hospitalization.
The Ambulatory Care Center at The Bellevue Hospital is staffed by skilled and compassionate registered nurses, specially trained to administer IV medications and perform wound care. Our staff works with each individual and their primary care provider to support the patient’s individual needs.
Services Include:
- Administration of intravenous medications
- Administration of hydration and antiemetics
- Blood transfusions
- Bladder instillations
- Care and maintenance of implanted chest ports and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC)
- Intramuscular and subcutaneous injections
- Placement and maintenance of venous access devices such as extended dwell and midline catheters
- Therapeutic phlebotomy
- Wound dressing changes
- Vacuum-assisted wound treatment
Additional services may be provided upon request.
The Bellevue Hospital’s new Ambulatory Care Center is conveniently located on the first floor of the hospital and consists of two infusion chairs and one bed, to keep our patients comfortable and relaxed.
