with their clinical and administrative experts in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and insurance. Vital Care
provides loads of advice, and also they help us acquire drugs and supplies, and they handle all the
billing for the patients. Home infusion is a complex business, and Vital Care helps us to navigate it
safely, responsibly, and effectively."
