Lakewood, Colo. – <November 1, 2009> – RV Infusion Partners, LLC, a subsidiary of Renal Ventures Management, LLC, today announced the opening of its premier infusion therapy center located at 198 Union Blvd, Suite 100, in Lakewood, Colorado. The Infusion Center of Denver is a center-of-excellence that successfully brings together all the elements of superior care and treatment for a range of inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, Crohn's Disease, multiple scleroses and more.

 

As part of the growing RV Infusion Partners network, the Infusion Center of Denver is an experienced, patient-focused group that collaborates directly with physicians and patients to provide excellent care, treatment and guidance through the infusion therapy process. Infusion therapy offers a safe and effective alternative to taking medication orally. Fast becoming the preferred treatment for many debilitating disorders, this form of treatment involves the administration of medications intravenously.

 

Led by the nationally and internationally recognized expert in rheumatology Stuart S. Kassan, MD, the Infusion Center of Denver will deliver the highest-standard of care possible in IV treatment and methodologies. A clinical professor of medicine in rheumatic diseases at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver and the president of the Colorado Rheumatology Association, Dr. Kassan will provide leadership and expertise for the delivery of exceptional health care and clinical effectiveness, virtually unmatched in the industry.

 

“We are extremely pleased that Dr. Kassan will be leading the charge as not only the medical director of our flagship Lakewood location, but also as the CMO of our larger organization,” said Michael P. Glinsky, President and CEO of RV Infusion Partners. “His experience, clinical expertise and patient-first approach are completely in sync with our vision.  Working together we are committed to transforming the infusion therapy experience into something that gives individuals effective, comfortable and convenient rheumatology treatment options.”

 

The Infusion Center of Denver staff works with a patient’s referring physician to provide a comprehensive and coordinated infusion treatment plan. Open lines of communication between all parties help ensure that a patient’s health is always top of mind and individuals have the opportunity to ask questions and become involved in the therapy process.  Conditions that can be effectively treated with infused mediation from the Infusion Center of Denver include:

 

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Crohn's Disease
  • Gastrointestinal Diseases
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Osteoporosis

Unlike a traditional hospital or medical clinic, infusions given at the Infusion Center of Denver, or any RV Infusion Partners location, are guaranteed to be 100% physician supervised. Each RV Infusion Partners location will also have on staff a senior nurse, two supervising nurses as well as an infusion coordinator who will assist in all patient-doctor communications.
