Home Infusion Therapy and Pharmacy Services

UPMC at Home offers infusion therapy, specialty pharmacy, and retail pharmacy services.

Infusion Therapy at Home

Infusion therapy involves giving medication through a needle or catheter and clinical monitoring by pharmacists and nurses. It can also refer to receiving drugs through non-oral routes — such as intramuscular injections and epidurals.

Your doctor may prescribe infusion therapy when oral medications can't effectively treat your health problem.

Chartwell Pennsylvania, LP is one of the largest and most clinically advanced home infusion pharmacies in the United States and offers infusion therapy right to your home.

With branch locations in Altoona and Erie, Chartwell’s new headquarters is in Oakdale, Pennsylvania, located about 25 minutes southwest of Pittsburgh.

In addition to home infusion therapy, Chartwell also provides specialty pharmacy services and enteral nutrition to its patients.

Chartwell works closely with your network of health care providers, including your local doctors, hospitals, and nursing agencies to achieve the best possible health outcome for you or your loved ones right in the comfort of your own home.

UPMC Retail Pharmacies

UPMC’s retail pharmacies are on-site at many of our hospitals. This allows us to create a unique patient experience as you transition from the hospital to home.

Some of UPMC’s retail pharmacies are also located within our large outpatient clinics. These offer the convenience of filling prescriptions at the same location as your health care provider.

UPMC Rx Express

Many patients find it challenging to stop at their local pharmacy on the way home from the hospital following an inpatient stay.

The UPMC Rx Express program helps lessen this burden by filling your prescriptions and delivering them to your hospital room before discharge.

Refills also are available through the mail from these same pharmacies — another time-saver that has a positive effect on patient adherence.

Visitors to UPMC Emergency Rooms should inquire about the availability of the UPMC Rx Express program.
