About CarePoint Partners
Dana Soper, CarePoint’s CEO, teamed with WCP to form CarePoint Partners (“CarePoint”) to acquire or develop and operate a network of infusion and specialty pharmacies in North America. Infusion pharmacy therapy involves the administration of medications and nutrients using intravenous (into the bloodstream), subcutaneous (under the skin) and epidural methods (into the membranes surrounding the spinal cord). Unlike pill-form medications, infused medicines require patient-specific mixing, special preparation, supervised administration and patient monitoring. Home therapy allows patients to receive IV medications without the inconvenience or cost of a hospital visit. Specialty pharmacy services require less direct clinical interaction than home infusion, but still require patient monitoring, patient education and training for the administration of specialized pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and related services.
