SALISBURY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BioTek reMEDys and its subsidiaries have entered into an agreement with TidalHealth to manage an infusion suite specifically for the new monoclonal antibodies produced by Eli Lilly and Regeneron. These drugs are used specifically for the treatment of patients that have additional risk factors for developing more severe cases of COVID-19.
The infusion suite, near TidalHealth’s hospital in Salisbury, MD, opened and began treating patients in mid-December.
The importance of and demand for providing these treatments, under the FDA’s Emergency Use Approval, led to the collaboration between BioTek reMEDys and TidalHealth to open the infusion suite quickly and with the utmost safety. The urgency of COVID-19 created an environment for two healthcare organizations to collaborate and utilize each other’s best practices to swiftly achieve an end goal.
“When health services organizations put the patient first and leave their egos out, it becomes possible to collaborate in ways that surpass anything an individual organization can achieve,” said Chai Gadde, CEO and founder of the BioTek group of companies.
From a business operations perspective, the infusion suite was designed to be fluid in its ability to scale up to meet volume demand and to provide other therapies as needed.
