Lee Health Joins Mayo Clinic Study

Dr. Larry Antonucci, M.D., MBA, President & CEO, is proud to share this exciting announcement:

“We are excited to announce that Lee Health was accepted and registered as a participating site in Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Study. Starting Monday, April 20, patients who are admitted to Lee Health hospitals with proven SARS-COV-2 infection (the virus that causes COVID-19) may qualify to enroll in this clinical trial, which provides access to experimental convalescent plasma. Convalescent plasma refers to blood plasma collected from people who have recovered from COVID-19. That plasma is then used to treat others with advanced illness.
