Ascension Sacred Heart provides monoclonal antibody therapy and rapid COVID-19 testing

 


Panama City, Florida (WJHG / WECP)-Ascension Sacridhart is currently offering a new antibody therapy against COVID-19. Casirivimab / Imdevimab has received emergency use approval from the FDA based on research data.

Clinical trials have shown that monoclonal antibodies are likely to help prevent COVID-19 emergency department visits and hospitalizations, according to Ascension Sacredhart officials.

“The more patients that can actually be treated with monoclonal antibodies, the more likely they are to prevent hospitalization,” said Dr. Estrelli Taredmon, Chief Clinical Officer at Ascension Sacred Heart.

ASH offers antibody therapy at outpatient treatment centers in Bay County, Gulf County, and Walton County. When you visit your doctor to get treatment, your doctor will order the test.

“Primary care physicians need to fill out an order form that actually has the right indications,” says Redmon. “Then it will be faxed to our outpatient facility.”

ASH states that an individual must have at least one of the following serious complications and an increased risk of death from COVID in order to qualify for outpatient treatment:

● Elderly people (for example, 65 years old and over)

● Obesity or overweight

● Pregnancy

● Chronic kidney disease

● Diabetes 1

● Immunosuppressive disease or immunosuppressive treatment

● Cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure

● Chronic lung disease

● Sickle cell disease

● Neurodevelopmental disorders

● Medical-related technical dependence (tracheostomy, gastrostomy, positive pressure ventilation, etc., not related to COVID-19)

● Other medical conditions that are at high risk of progressing to severe COVID-19 in patients

You also need to show your GP a positive COVID test. All Ascension Medical Group Family Practices can order antibody therapies.

“They are symptomatic and need to be tested for COVID positive,” Redmon said. “Treatment should be done within 10 days of the onset of symptoms, preferably within 72 hours of receiving a positive test.”

The Ascension Medical Group also announced on Wednesday that it will offer patients new COVID rapid testing options.

AMG tells NewsChannel 7 that the test can provide results within 15 minutes and is a non-invasive swab.

According to AMG, this test is available to all patients, but patients should see a doctor in advance.

The locations that provide rapid COVID inspection are:

● North Side Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart Bay Family Medicine

● Norcross Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart Bay Family Medicine

● Lynn Haven’s Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart

● Panama City Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart Pediatrics
