LIFESAVING PLASMA DISTRIBUTIONS BEGIN:
MORE DONORS NEEDED

Over the last month the Chicago Medical Society has been working with health systems, physicians, and community organizations in an all out push to grow our convalescent plasma therapy program. The outpouring of support and participation from so many brings us to a proud milestone; the first distribution of potentially life saving plasma. With over 200 donors to date, we are collecting and now distributing plasma in Chicagoland.

MORE IS NEEDED
We need as many donations as possible to increase distribution for critically ill patients in Chicagoland. If you, or someone you know, has recovered from coronavirus, your blood can likely help someone who is currently infected with COVID-19. The Chicago Medical Society is seeking blood donations from individuals who have recovered. Please contact us by clicking the link below or calling us at:
