office or the patients home. The staff provides 24 hour patient support, patient tracking,
disease management, and outcomes data collection. Florida Infusion Pharmacy is the
preferred provider of services to insurance companies, HMO's, managed care and physicians
due to the high level of patient care provided and its cost conscious management approach.
IN THE BEGINNING
From modest beginnings in June of 1987, few would have predicted the type of explosive
growth experienced by Florida Infusion Services, Inc. over the past fourteen years. From
providing I.V. Therapy to local home patients from a small storefront location in Tarpon
Springs, Florida, to becoming a respected, national force in the supply of chemotherapy
drugs, injectables, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to health care providers
throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands
and Europe. Florida Infusion Services has maintained two principles that continue to guide
its basic business philosophy. Those principles are aggressive BottomLine(r) pricing and
impeccable service, pricing that leads the way and sets the standard in the marketplace,
and service that remains professional while providing the personal attention customers
deserve and demand.
