Several agencies have partnered with Cook Children’s Medical Center to create a state-funded Regional Infusion Center in Fort Worth. This site will accept patient referrals from health care providers to help administer COVID-19 therapeutics quickly and safely with the goal of preventing patients from needing hospitalization.
Patients must be referred by a physician; patients cannot refer themselves. There is no walk-in availability; all treatments must be scheduled in advance.
The Regional Infusion Center utilizes the monoclonal antibody treatment Regeneron.
This is a state-funded operation. There is no cost to the patient or referring provider. Operating hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week.
