Our Founders Serving Greater Cincinnati
Brad Howard, RN, BSN
Founder & Owner | Registered Nurse | 10+ Years of Healthcare Experience | Air Force Veteran
Brad brings a unique combination of military discipline and compassionate nursing care to Retreat Mobile IV Hydration. After serving 10 years in the U.S. Air Force, he transitioned into healthcare and has spent 10+ years caring for patients as a registered nurse.
His military background instilled values of precision, accountability, and mission-focused service—principles that define how Retreat operates today. Brad founded Retreat Mobile IV Hydration to offer a safer, more professional alternative to traditional "drip bars," with a focus on medically directed care, patient safety, and real-life convenience. He's passionate about natural nutritional therapies and believes IV hydration should be accessible, comfortable, and tailored to each individual's wellness goals. Brad is pursuing IV Nurse Certification and is a member of the American IV Association.
When he's not delivering IV therapy, Brad works as a registered nurse at a local hospital, staying connected to frontline patient care and expanding his clinical expertise.
Beyond the clinic, Brad's philosophy is shaped by his love of the outdoors. As an avid hiker, camper, and traveler, he draws inspiration from nature and believes in the restorative power of outdoor adventure. Together with Debbie, he integrates these principles into Retreat's mission—bringing wellness directly to clients so they can focus on living life to the fullest.
