Intravenous (IV) Therapy

Expert IV Care in Your Home

Partners in Community Nursing has nurses specifically trained in the initiation and maintenance of intravenous (IV) therapy.

IV therapy is provided for the administration of medications or fluids for hydration. It must be ordered by a physician. In our efforts to respect your need for independence, the nurses may teach you to participate in your care when appropriate. This minimizes the need for nursing visits. Support is available 24 hours as needed by phoning Partners in Community Nursing.
