Iron infusion is a procedure in which iron is delivered to a patient's body intravenously, meaning into a vein through a needle. This method of delivering medication or supplementation is also known as an intravenous (IV) infusion.

Iron infusions are usually prescribed by doctors to treat iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is typically treated with dietary changes and iron supplements that you take in pill form. In some cases, though, doctors may recommend iron infusions instead.

Welcome To This Course!

A patient may require an IV infusion if they:

❖ can’t take iron by mouth

❖ can’t absorb iron adequately through the gut

❖ can’t absorb enough iron due to blood loss

❖ need to increase iron levels fast to avoid medical complications or a blood transfusion

In this course, you will learn everything you need to know about Iron Infusion Therapy. No previous knowledge required.

Kayona Moreland

My name is Kayona Moreland. I am the CEO and founder of My Health Reassurance (MHR), a medical walk-in wellness clinic in Atlanta, GA. I have been a nurse for 14 years and a nurse practitioner for six years. I loved bedside nursing but early on in my career, I knew it wasn’t something I wouldn’t be doing long-term. My background was ICU (intensive care unit) and after seven long years of working night shift and taking care of critical patients, I decided to go back to school to get my Masters in Nursing and become a Family Nurse Practitioner.

In April 2019, I would later become an entrepreneur and open MHR, offering wellness services centered around health promotion and chronic disease prevention. I knew I wanted a business but I had zero experience with starting one. Being the go-getter I am, I didn’t let that stop me and went full force with opening a wellness clinic.
