Background and List of participants at Red Cross Roundtable
Today, President Donald J. Trump will visit the American Red Cross Headquarters to raise awareness of the importance of donating plasma. Plasma is being evaluated as a treatment for patients with serious or immediately life-threatening coronavirus infections. The willingness of recovered patients to donate makes these studies possible, and it will be critically important to increase donations if the studies show a significant benefit.
For 139 years, the American Red Cross has been supported by selfless volunteers and dedicated employees who invest their time, talent, and resources to provide much needed assistance to people around the world. President Trump joins the Nation in thanking and honoring the American Red Cross for their tireless work.
