Crescent Healthcare to open infusion pharmacy in New Jersey

Crescent Healthcare today announced a planned expansion of their east coast operations in 2011. They signed a lease to open an infusion pharmacy in Totowa, New Jersey, central to providing immune globulin therapies and services to current patients in Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, and Rhode Island.

In addition to supporting current business in the northeast, the new facility will provide opportunities for Crescent Healthcare to better serve prospective payer, hospital, and physician customers ordering I.V. and subcutaneous immune globulin (IVIG and SCIG) therapies.

"A local presence will allow us to provide expanded services to clinician customers and patients in the northeast," said Leslie Vaughan, RPh, Senior Vice President Chronic Therapy Division.  "It will also provide a base from which to expand our value-based partnership model, Medical Management Solutions, which we originated in California.
