Oncology and Infusion Services

Columbus Community Hospital offers services for both children and adults, including chemotherapy, IV infusions and injections. The initial treatment or therapy is frequently completed at another hospital or doctors clinic, but the remainder can be done in Columbus Community Hospital's Infusion Services Department. If your physician doesn't offer you the treatment option at Columbus Community Hospital, let him know that you can receive your treatments close to home in our Infusion Services Department.
