Explore our latest, state-of-the-art infusion center and meet the dedicated team in Bangor, ME—our largest facility in Maine!


Our Local Infusion center in Bangor, which opened on February 26th, is not only our largest facility but also our fifth location nationwide and the third in the state of Maine (other locations in Augusta and Portland). 

Situated in the bustling Broadway Shopping Center just off I-95, this center is perfectly positioned to serve the broader Northern Maine area, providing unparalleled convenience for our patients.

With a focus on maximizing comfort, our Bangor facility boasts eight private suites, each equipped with WiFi and televisions, ensuring a relaxing and private treatment environment. The design and amenities reflect our commitment to creating spaces where patients feel cared for and at ease.

Additionally, this center uniquely features artwork from local artists based in the Bangor area, creating a visually soothing environment that celebrates local talent. Each piece was selected to enhance the healing atmosphere, reflecting themes of tranquility, nature, and the rich cultural heritage of Maine. This initiative not only supports local artists but also provides our patients with a more engaging and comforting space, contributing positively to their overall treatment experience.

I have learned a lot from the patients I have the pleasure to care for and it is because of these patients that I want to continue to push myself to keep learning and growing in ways that help people heal all aspects of their lives. I am so happy and proud to work for a company that is so supportive of their employees. I believe the best outcomes from employees come from feeling appreciated and noticed."
