COVID-19 survivors may help save lives by donating blood
Antibody-rich plasma may be effective treatment for those infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.
Bloodworks Northwest is partnering with federal and state agencies to make the antibodies of people who have recovered from COVID-19 available to those currently sick with the disease. This is one potentially effective treatment that can be administered and evaluated soon, while vaccines are being developed.
If you believe you might qualify for this study and have received a previous positive COVID-19 test result, contact Bloodworks Northwest to assist these efforts.

Staying Positive: Thank you, dispatchers!
April 12-18 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, honoring the 911 dispatchers and call receivers in our community and across the nation.
Kitsap County is served by dispatchers at Kitsap 911, District 8 of the Washington State Patrol, and the Navy's Regional Dispatch Center.
These professionals are sometimes referred to as the first first responders, and their work as the bridge between citizens and emergency services is especially critical during the fight against COVID-19. Thank you to those who answer the call to keep our communities safe!
