HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Highland Hosts Ribbon-cutting of New Outpatient Infusion Service, a $200K Investment in Care Project funded by HSHS St. Joseph’s Highland Foundation |
On Tuesday, September 9, HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital in Highland held a ceremonial ribbon-cutting for the new location of the Outpatient Infusion Services in a fully renovated space.
Teresa Cornelius, Chief Administrative Officer at St. Joseph’s, welcomed everyone and shared her thanks to all who worked on the project and especially thanked the St. Joseph’s Foundation and its many local donors. The new space was made possible through a $200,000 investment from the HSHS St. Joseph’s Foundation.
“We are very excited to unveil this space. We have done infusions in the previous location since the hospital opened, but we have grown significantly since then and knew we needed a larger space to continue to serve the community,” Cornelius said. “This will be one of the only infusion centers in our area, and we are blessed to be able to have it open here so patients don’t have to travel too far for their care.”
Outpatient Infusion is located on the first floor of the Medical Office Building in Suite 120 (across from the specialty clinic). It is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information about this service at HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Highland, call 618-651-2561 or visit hshs.org/st-josephs-highland.
