Hackensack Meridian Health Recruiting Recovering COVID-19 Patients

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Hackensack NJ, As of late last night, HMH has been approved by the FDA to recruit recovered and recovering COVID-19 patients to assess their blood and test it for antibodies in response to the virus. These antibodies may help other patients who are infected with COVID-19. Patients with promising antibodies will be asked to come back to donate an additional blood sample which may be helpful for sick COVID-19 patients. This convalescent plasma therapy is still pending approval from the FDA which we hope to receive soon.

If you, or someone you know, have recovered or are recovering from COVID-19, you may be eligible to donate. If you are interested, please contact our coordinator [email protected].

In response, Hackensack Meridian Health announced that non-urgent and non-emergency hospital/campus-based surgeries and procedures will be postponed for two weeks. This new policy will be fully effective on Tuesday, March 17.

Surgeries and procedures will continue to take place at our non-hospital, off-campus sites. Our physician offices are open.
