2. Introduction
 Oleg Aronov plays a vital role in the operation of two
health care organizations, StatRx Pharmacy and
MEDEX Diagnostic and Treatment Center. Over a
decade of leadership, he has provided access to
many therapeutic services for patients and healthcare
clients afflicted with chronic, life threatening medical
conditions. Oleg Aronov maintains a professional
interest in promoting home infusion therapy as a
means of providing patients with care within their
home, the place they feel most often feel comfortable
when receiving treatment.
Infusion is useful for patients with a range of illnesses,
including dehydration, cancer, congestive heart
failure, and gastrointestinal problems.

3. Home Infusion Therapy
 Until the 1980s, infusions were performed in hospital
settings at considerable expense, discomfort and
inconvenience to patients. Home infusions allow
patients with chronic conditions to retain their usual
life and work habits with minimal intrusion into their
lives.
Home infusion has been demonstrated as a
convenient, cost effective way to administer therapy
for many conditions. However, depending on a
patient’s condition and/or therapy, home infusion must
be assessed to determine if that site of care for
treatment is appropriate. Infusion pharmacies may
also make available other home services, including
nebulizers (inhalation) and care management.
