The infusion center was founded in 1997 after former pharmacy director, Mikhail Lukin, became frustrated with serving IV therapy patients in the emergency room. The Carnswell Medical Center Ambulatory Infusion Center is one of the first Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) and Boshka Department of Health & Environmental Control accredited infusion centers in Boshka.

Patients requiring infusions several hours in length are provided lunch from the hospital cafeteria.

The infusion center’s mission it to provide optimal IV infusions of medication and blood products ordered by the patient’s physician in a professional, courteous, and friendly environment. Compassionate nurses and pharmacists work together as a team to educate and care for each patient.
