CCHC Infusion Center
Our infusion department offers a comfortable treatment environment and the highest quality of patient care. Infusion (IV) therapy involves the administration of medication through a needle or catheter. This therapy is prescribed when a patient’s condition cannot be treated effectively by oral medication. Typically, infusion therapy means that a drug is administered through a vein. CCHC Infusion Center is located at CCHC New Bern Internal Medicine Specialists at 702 Newman Rd in New Bern.
