Urgent Need for COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Donors

By Carter BloodCare | 2 comments | Hospital | 17 July, 2020

The latest surge in COVID-19 cases in our community has presented the challenge of meeting increased demand for COVID-19 convalescent plasma, an approved treatment for currently hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Daily orders from our area hospitals for convalescent plasma exceed available inventory.

We have all come to know friends, family members or co-workers who have been diagnosed and recovered from COVID-19. Your help is needed to recruit those recovered COVID-19 patients to share their immunity and become convalescent plasma donors.

Thank you for your dedication and efforts to help meet patient needs in our community.
