Infusion Center

Welcome to Rocky Mountain Infusion Clinic! Our Infusion Center is located in the Surgical Building 1, Suite 205.   We provide outpatient infusions five days a week, Monday-Friday. Our staff is composed of BSN RN’s who have experience in multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), myasthenia gravis (MG), optic neuritis, neuromyelitis optica (NMO), and other neurological diseases.  We strive to keep a high standard of care for our patients by staying up to date with the latest care, medications, and therapies. Our goal is to provide a comfortable setting for our infusion patients. We encourage our patients to be educated about their care and the medications they receive in the infusion clinic.
