frequently Asked Questions
On your first day, you’ll complete lab work, meet with a doctor to review results and then begin your infusion. This will typically take between 1-5 hours. We provide snacks, drinks, reclining chairs and warm blankets. One guest at a time may accompany you; if they need to step out, another guest may swap in.
We offer financial support and counseling, and our social workers can help you explore available financial assistance programs. Learn more on our financial services page.
