Our History

"Service to our neighbors in need."

Those simple few words uttered by Georgia pharmacist, Freddie Dwozan, has been the guiding principle of the organization since it started as Optioncare of Middle Georgia in 1988. In 2009, IV Care Options emerged as the continuing entity that serves a much greater area and increased its capabilities. “Each of our team members holds our founding theme of service to others above self as the most fundamental principle in their daily activities. Our focus is to help our patients and families get through their illness with the talents and skills of our pharmacists, nurses, and related support staff. We place all our efforts here in the Georgia communities in which we each live and work, to serve our neighbors and fellow Georgians. We humbly respect the stewardship responsibility we have in this endeavor.”

IV Care Options founder Freddie Dwozan felt the calling to provide care to critically ill patients. “I have been blessed to be able to help children with runny noses and now to those who face the news of a terminal condition. Our organization is family owned, and we are humbled each and every time your family calls us to provide service.” Each of the company’s dedicated employees upholds this same promise to provide unsurpassed service for each and every family we serve. To work for the organization, each applicant must participate in a rigorous screening process. Only the best and most qualified candidates are selected. Freddie often states, “Our goal is to hire those with the most knowledge, best skills, and unselfish attitudes. We want those individuals who wholeheartedly wish to join our business family to help provide unsurpassed service to other Georgia families in need.”

Many home care companies exist, but IV Care Options is unique. It is one of a handful of family-owned home care services in the state. All decisions are made locally at the local level, not in a corporate office in another state. IV Care Options is your best choice to provide medications and nursing care in the comfort of the patients’ home.
