If your organization already has an onsite clinic, you’ve taken a major step toward healthier employees and lower healthcare costs. But have you considered what’s next? One of the most exciting opportunities emerging in workplace healthcare is infusion therapy—a way to deliver powerful, life-changing treatments in a comfortable, convenient, and cost-effective setting.
A Growing Trend You Can’t Ignore
Infusion therapy—where medications are delivered through an IV for conditions like arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or multiple sclerosis—is no longer limited to hospitals. The demand for infusion care is growing fast. In fact, the U.S. infusion therapy market is projected to nearly double—from $19.65 billion in 2024 to $38.02 billion by 2032, growing about 9% every year.
As more patients need these services, employers are taking notice. Traditional hospital infusions can be expensive, costing $5,500–$11,500 per session, while outpatient or onsite settings often deliver the same treatment for $3,500–$5,000. When you multiply those savings across multiple employees and multiple sessions per year, the potential for impact is huge.
Why Onsite Clinics Are the Perfect Fit
Onsite clinics already give employees something incredibly valuable—easy access to care they trust. That same environment can make infusion therapy less stressful and more convenient. Instead of driving across town, waiting for an appointment, and missing half a workday, employees can receive treatments just steps away from their office.
For employers, the benefits go well beyond convenience. Offering infusion therapy onsite keeps care in-network, supports medication adherence, and helps your team manage chronic conditions with fewer absences. It’s the kind of service that says, “We care about your health and your time.”
Plus, there’s a ripple effect. Employees who feel supported in managing complex health needs are more engaged, more loyal, and more productive. It’s a win for your people and for your business.
Setting Up for Success
If you’re thinking about adding infusion therapy to your onsite clinic, start by evaluating what’s possible within your space and staffing. You’ll need trained nursing professionals, the right clinical oversight, and a setup designed for comfort and safety. Partnering with a specialty pharmacy or infusion provider can help ensure medications, supplies, and monitoring are handled seamlessly.
It’s also important to communicate early and often with employees. Infusion therapy can sound intimidating at first—but when employees understand it’s part of their clinic’s personalized, supportive approach to health, it becomes another reason to love having care right where they work.
The Future of Care Is Closer Than You Think
The shift toward onsite and outpatient infusion care is part of a bigger movement: bringing advanced care closer to the patient. For employers, it’s an opportunity to transform the onsite clinic into a true center of whole-person health—one that supports prevention, treatment, and long-term well-being.
When care is accessible, trusted, and thoughtfully designed, everyone wins. And for employees who depend on infusion therapy, there may be no better place to receive it than right where they feel most at home—at work.
