Where do I get a port flush near TV?
 
I had breast cancer three years ago and still have my port embedded. It needs a heparin flush every 6 weeks. We will be snowbirding next year. Where is close to have this done?

The Villages Regional Hospital (TVRH) has an Infusion Center. It is located on first floor in The Large Building across from Sharon Morse Medical Building on East Side of Hwy 27/441. My wife had to go there last year for IV Infusions on a regular basis and they did the flush as part of treatments. They had also had one of the RN's trained to re-establish port if needed. Not sure how you would go about scheduling, but you may wish to contact TVRH (352) 751-8000 for more info.
