AUSTIN – Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) has established a new COVID-19 therapeutic infusion center in Lubbock. The infusion center will begin accepting patients on Thursday and have been provided with monoclonal antibodies to regeneron and bamlanivimab to treat outpatient COVID-19 cases that meet certain criteria and have a referral from a hospital or doctor. The infusion center was established through a partnership with TDEM, the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Covenant Health System, and UMC Health System.
“This new infusion center in Lubbock will increase access to therapeutic COVID-19 treatments in the community and help us reduce hospitalizations and save lives,” said Governor Abbott. “Thank you to our partners in the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Covenant Health System and UMC Health System for working with TDEM to launch this new infusion center.”
Infusion centers have currently been established in El Paso, Laredo, Harlingen, Austin, Fort Worth, Irving and more to help communities fight COVID-19 and reduce hospitalizations.
