Having local doctors oversee your outpatient chemotherapy, or other infusion therapy, saves you the expense and time of traveling out of town for care, helping you maintain your daily routine with the comfort of family and friends nearby. Our certified team of experts administer a variety of medications and chemotherapeutic agents in a comfortable and relaxing environment five days a week.

We offer nearly all infusion therapies here at Prowers Medical Center that are available in larger, urban facilities, including infusions for advanced diabetes, kidney and liver issues, MS, lupus, Crohn’s disease and more, along with IV antibiotics, transfusions, hydration and injection services. The hospital is happy to coordinate with regional oncologists and other physicians to administer infusion therapy. The administration of IV medications can be ordered by any licensed physician.

“I would much rather make the hour drive to Lamar to receive my care. Everyone I met is so friendly. I love all of the people at Prowers Medical Center. They saw and met every need I had. The equipment is up to date and modern as well. I never had any problems and I never had to ask for anything – someone was always asking if I needed help or offering food or drink while we had to wait on various things.”
