TDEM Launches COVID Infusion Center in Amarillo
The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), in partnership with the city of Amarillo, will launch a new COVID-19 therapeutic infusion center in Amarillo. The infusion center has been provided with monoclonal antibodies to treat COVID outpatients who have a referral from a doctor. This treatment is available at no cost to the patient.
“Our state agencies continue to work closely with local partners to expand access to COVID-19 antibody therapeutics across the Lone Star State,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “The new Amarillo facility will bolster our ongoing efforts to ensure Texans in the Panhandle who test positive for COVID-19 have access to this free and effective treatment.””
TDEM and the Texas Department of State Health Services have established and expanded antibody infusion centers in communities across the state in the past several months.
