Welcome to the Infusion Center at MedStar Franklin Square Cancer Center at Loch Raven Campus
The Infusion Center at MedStar Franklin Square Cancer Center at Loch Raven Campus is part of a warm and welcoming 7,800-square-foot state-of-the-art facility that was recently renovated.
Our full-service Infusion Center features 22 treatment chairs where IV therapies of all types including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and iron infusions, as well as injections for a wide range of conditions, can be administered. Three of the chairs are situated in private rooms to allow for physician consults during treatment. There is also a fast-track area for patients who come in for quick injections.
Our oncology-certified nurses play a proactive role in helping our patients avoid complications and discomfort from their symptoms.
The Cancer Center’s dedicated on-site pharmacy, staffed by two pharmacists, means shorter wait times for medications. Plus, the availability of other cancer specialists in the same location makes coordinating each patient’s care easier, streamlining the treatment process. In addition, our convenient location at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital ensures that all patient needs can be taken care of on-site, even emergencies.
We offer a wide range of amenities to ensure that patients receive the highest level of comfort and care during treatment, including a calming healing garden. Our center is easy to access, and parking is free.
