Home infusion therapy

Aurora Health at Home delivers intravenous (IV) medication to residents across eastern Wisconsin. Our specially trained nurses and pharmacists offer guidance and infusion education so you can remain at home and regain your independence.

Infusion therapy where you need It most

With our in-home IV therapy, you can maintain your lifestyle without making trips to the hospital or clinic for treatment. Benefits of IV therapy with Aurora Health at Home include:

• Large service area: As part of Aurora Health Care, we provide pharmacy services across Eastern Wisconsin and insulin pump supplies to the entire state. Our size and experience mean you’ll get your medication and supplies when you need them, wherever you call home.
• Seamless transition: If you’re receiving infusion therapy following a hospital stay, Aurora’s in-hospital liaisons work with your doctor to manage your home infusion needs. Your IV therapy is ready when you arrive home.
• Patient education: When appropriate, your infusion nurse can teach you how to administer your own IV medication and explain when you need to call a nurse or doctor.
• Telehealth: If you need inotropic therapy, also known as heart pump medication, our telehealth service complements your infusion therapy. Telehealth helps you avoid worsening heart failure by monitoring your symptoms and vital signs between nurse visits.
