How It Works

From triage to recovery.

01

Triage & Assessment

Your visit begins with a medical evaluation including vitals and symptom review. If a viral infection is suspected we run rapid tests on-site.

02

Physician Prescription

IV therapy is not a menu item, it requires a medical order. Our physician reviews your assessment and prescribes if medically necessary.

03

Monitored Administration

Infusions are performed in a private setting. Heart rate, blood pressure and infusion site monitored throughout (typically 45 to 60 minutes).

04

Discharge & Care Plan

Once vitals are stable and hydration restored, you are discharged with home-care instructions. Records can be sent to your primary care provider.
