When Wales Township resident Staci Woods came down with a COVID-19 infection, she was afraid she would have to go to the hospital and be put on a ventilator.
“I didn’t wanna take up a bed when I knew that if I could go home and get better that’s where I wanted to be, she said. It was scary, it was scary for a couple of days.”
Woods, who has severe asthma, said she had severe joint pain, fever, headache and shortness of breath.
But after visiting the emergency room twice, Ascencion River District Hospital recommended her for monoclonal antibody therapy. Within two hours of the referral, Tri-Hospital EMS had contacted her, and a paramedic visited her home to administer the therapy.
