Description

Press release from BioLife Plasma Services: Aug. 21, 2021 BioLife Plasma Services opened a new plasma donation center in Largo located at 2178 E. Bay Drive on Aug. 7. As the demand for medicines made from plasma continues to grow across the nation and donations are lower than usual through the pandemic, it is more important than ever to raise awareness of plasma and how donating can be a life-changing act. The Largo center is actively seeking healthy donors, who have a unique opportunity to make a difference in the community through plasma donation. Donations received at BioLife centers are used by Takeda to make established therapies that treat a range of rare and complex conditions including immunodeficiency disorders, for which there are often no alternative treatments. This is the first BioLife center to open in the Tampa area and the sixth to open in the state; it will bring more than 30 new jobs to the local community in an effort to support the urgent need for plasma.
