LifeServe Blood Center is seeking community members who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have COVID-19 antibodies to donate convalescent plasma to meet the rising plasma needs of local hospitals.

This month has seen the highest plasma usage since the beginning of the pandemic. As patient hospitalizations continue to increase, it is projected that the amount of plasma needed for treatment will outpace the amount of donations of this lifesaving blood product. An eligible COVID-19 convalescent plasma donor will have tested positive for COVID-19 or have tested positive for the COVID-19 antibodies. Those who believe they had COVID-19 but were never tested can complete an assessment form to determine eligibility.
