O’Bleness Hospital opens specialty infusion center for COVID-19 patients ATHENS — OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital has opened a Specialty Infusion Center for patients with COVID-19. It will be used solely for infusion of FDA emergency use authorized monoclonal antibody treatments, targeting patients with mild to moderate forms of COVID-19 in high-risk patients. OhioHealth started offering this service through OhioHealth At Home’s Advanced Home Services in Athens County, and has since opened the infusion center according to Lucy Bucher, senior director of medical affairs for O’Bleness Hospital. Patients must meet very specific criteria for the treatment, then a provider connects them with teams who perform the infusions either at the infusion center or in the patient’s home.
