REGIONAL INFUSION CETNER
The State of Texas through the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), in partnership with the Office of the Brazos County Judge, the City of College Station, the City of Bryan and St. Joseph Health, opened an infusion center as an additional resource for treating COVID-19 patients. The infusion center is equipped with Regeneron's monoclonal antibodies and will treat COVID-19 patients with therapeutic drugs that can prevent their condition from worsening and requiring hospital care. The center will also help increase bed capacity in hospitals so that resources are available for the most ill patients.
If you are high risk and have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or tested positive yourself, you could potentially qualify for a FREE treatment.
EXPOSURE IS DEFINED AS: being within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more, providing care at home to someone who is sick, having direct physical contact with the person (hugging or kissing, for example), sharing eating or drinking utensils, or being exposed to respiratory droplets from an infected person (sneezing or coughing, for example).
