DONORS NEEDED FOR PLASMA DRIVE

The Chicago Medical Society is hosting a special plasma drive this week to increase the supply of potentially life-saving convalescent plasma.

We have distributed convalescent plasma to over 11 hospitals , but more is needed! 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:
