Raising Awareness About Safe Practices and Opportunities for IV Therapy with Felicia Janovich American IV Association

Empowered Patient Podcast

Felicia Janovich is a founding member of the American IV Association, which advocates for safe and effective IV therapies, including hydration, vitamin infusions, and treatments to support patients with chronic conditions or undergoing chemotherapy. While there is limited research on the effectiveness of these IV therapies, AIVA is working to collect and analyze clinical data to understand better the impact these therapies might have on individuals to help with recovery and overall health.

Felicia explains, "Right now, in our space, we struggle with clear guidelines. And there's kind of misunderstanding that there's a bunch of IV cowboys out there, and they're just starting IVs, and they don't have regulations. It's just entirely untrue. The IV Association and its members bring in this amazing opportunity to collaborate, not compete, which is huge within this IV industry because it is relatively new, so we need all the data, all the information, and all the science to back it up. What AIVA has done is welcome all these other business owners who are doing the absolute best they can without having a clear-cut rule book, if you will."

"But the main thing we all share is that it's intravenous, so we supply our nutrients and medications through an IV line directly to work on the cell at the cellular level. So, there might be different variations depending on the treatment, the goals, and what the provider and that client are trying to obtain, but the similarity is it's all going through an intravenous line."
