PLYMOUTH, Ind. -- The Michiana Hematology Oncology St. Joseph Plymouth location announced this week that it will no longer offer infusion or injection services.

"Due to continued cost increases and reductions in reimbursement rates for community-based practices, the organization has made the difficult decision to discontinue infusion and injection services at this location," the company said in a statement.

"This change will not affect provider visits or other clinical services at the St. Joe Plymouth site."

The company says infusion and injection services will be transitioned to one of its hospital partners in the region to "ensure patients continue to receive the high-quality care they deserve."

Patients who are currently receiving infusions or injections at the Plymouth location will be contacted directly by MHO staff with personalized information and next steps regarding the transition.

"MHO extends sincere gratitude to its patients for entrusting their care to our team and remains steadfast in its mission to deliver compassionate, patient-centered care—now and in the future," the company said.
