Join Althea: Where Healing Begins

Althea Infusion is a patient centered infusion provider delivering high quality specialty biologic therapies in both office based and home infusion settings. We partner with physicians and specialty pharmacy teams to expand access to advanced therapies across multiple communities.

  • Perform weight based dosing calculations as required
  • Educate patients on their disease state, treatment plan, and specialty products
  • Document all infusion encounters accurately in WeInfuse and other electronic systems
  • Maintain close communication with providers, pharmacy, and operations teams
  • Ensure appropriate supply utilization and report inventory needs
  • Travel to patients’ homes throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire as needed
  • Provide compassionate, patient focused care during every encounter
