Do you offer Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

Under specialized care from the Center for Pain Management team, we now offer intravenous ketamine which can be an effective treatment for patients suffering from chronic pain and/or depression.

Patients must be 15 years or older and cannot self-refer: patients must be referred by a primary care provider or specialist. Referrals are not required for current Center for Pain Management patients. All patients will go through a thorough consultation process that will determine eligibility and patient’s suitability for intravenous Ketamine.

Please note that ketamine is currently not covered by most insurances and should be considered an out-of-pocket expense. Costs for this service range (as of October 1, 2024) from $328* to $671* depending on the infusion time and medication concentration. *Please contact the Center for Pain Management for the latest cost information unique to your treatment plan.

Where can I fill my prescriptions?

Prescriptions can be filled at the pharmacy on the first floor of the hospital (open Monday-Friday 7 -5:30 p.m.) Or you may go to any pharmacy you wish.
