Biography
Northport Wellness Center Monica Panek, BSN RN has been a nurse since 2019, starting just before the start of the pandemic. She's worked exclusively in the Intensive Care Unit and Post Anesthesia Care Unit, which she refers to as a "wild, challenging, and rewarding journey." However, after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, Monica began exploring how vitamins and minerals could help manage her symptoms. That’s what led her to IV Vitamin Infusions, and where her healing journey truly began.
Monica has always been interested in IV hydration and wellness services, not only for their flexibility but because, as a nurse, she saw firsthand how a simple bag of fluids could quickly make people feel better. Unfortunately, by the time she saw patients in the hospital, they were already really sick. She always thought it would be amazing to have at-home access to vitamins and minerals to help prevent illness.
"If you start feeling unwell, imagine being able to call your nurse and have fluids and meds delivered the same day, instead of suffering on the couch for days or sitting for endless hours in the emergency room exposing you to unknown bacteria." — Monica Panek, BSN RN
