Pittsburgh, PA, August 16, 2024 - Chartwell Pennsylvania, LP, one of the largest and most clinically advanced health-system based providers of home infusion, specialty pharmacy, and enteral nutrition in the nation, in conjunction with CarepathRx, is pleased to announce the launch of a new, nine-chair infusion suite, located in our Oakdale, PA. headquarters. CHOICE by Chartwell, or the Chartwell Home and Outpatient Infusion Customer Experience, provides a new alternative for patients to choose where they would like to receive their infusion therapy: at home, or at the new infusion Suite, located just five minutes from Robinson Township. The suite provides additional options for patients beyond physician offices or at their local hospital.
Visiting patients will receive IV infusion therapy for a variety of health conditions which require specialty drugs for conditions such as immune deficiencies, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s and colitis, infections, and other acute conditions that demand hydration therapy, catheter care, and more. Chartwell offers prescribed medications in a safe, monitored environment. Clinical care and coordination at the new facility will be managed by Chartwell’s exceptional staff of licensed nurses and pharmacists.
"At Chartwell, we support our patient population’s privilege to choose when and where they receive their infusion therapy,” said Kathie Patrick, President of Chartwell and CarepathRx Specialty Pharmacy and Infusion Solutions. “Market pressures continue to push patients to alternate sites of care and locations closer to their homes. Chartwell has served patients in their homes for more than 30 years, and we are perfectly positioned to welcome these patients to our new infusion suite.”
The Chartwell infusion suite provides an exceptional experience for patients and caregivers with premier amenities and the same, world-class clinical and supportive care that Chartwell has been known for since 1991.
CHOICE by Chartwell was designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring amenities like private infusion rooms, comfortable IV recliners, large-screen TVs, complimentary snacks and beverages, evening hours and weekends, and free parking. Chartwell also provides first-dosing for patients new to their medications.
