About Us
History
Vida-Flo pioneered IV hydration in the U.S., opening its first location in Atlanta in 2012. Founder Keith McDermott, worn down from nonstop travel and battling exhaustion, experienced the benefits of IV infusion firsthand. Energized by the results, he launched the nation’s first IV hydration clinic — and Vida-Flo was born.
