Understanding Crohn's Disease
What you should know
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation anywhere in the digestive tract, most commonly the small intestine and colon. It cycles through periods of flare-ups and remission, and during flares, patients deal with severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and malnutrition.
Many Crohn's patients require biologic infusion therapies (like infliximab or vedolizumab) that are traditionally administered in infusion centers. For patients who qualify, receiving these infusions at home eliminates the need for repeated trips to a center and allows treatment in a comfortable, familiar environment.
Beyond infusion therapy, our team provides nutritional support for patients struggling with malabsorption, wound care for surgical sites or fistulas, ostomy care for patients who've had bowel resection, and medication management for the complex drug regimens Crohn's often requires.

Crohn's Disease — Common Questions
Many patients can receive biologic infusions at home after an initial loading phase at an infusion center. Our infusion nurses are trained in biologic administration and monitor for allergic reactions throughout the infusion. Your gastroenterologist determines if home infusion is appropriate for you.
Yes. For patients who can't absorb adequate nutrition through their digestive tract, we administer total parenteral nutrition (TPN) at home. This provides complete nutrition intravenously while the bowel rests or heals.
