Vital Care
Vital Care franchises enable operators to run patient infusion and pharmaceutical businesses under the Vital Care® mark, offering infusion drugs, supplies, equipment, nursing services, and professional administration of therapies like parenteral nutrition, antimicrobials, pain management, chemotherapy, and more in home and outpatient settings. Franchisees must operate a primary infusion center with pharmacy and treatment rooms, potentially expanding to remote centers, following the franchisor's system standards for equipment, procedures, and branding. The business model revolves around franchising these specialized healthcare services to qualified entities in designated territories, targeting patients with complex medical needs requiring infusion therapies.
