Local woman credits nonprofit amid I.V. fluid shortage
Angels for Change was recently featured in a powerful News10 story highlighting our mission to end drug shortages and the critical impact our work has on patients across the country. The piece shares the story of Brooke, a patient in Warrensburg, N.Y., who faced a terrifying delay in receiving her IV fluid treatments due to a national shortage.
When traditional supply chain solutions failed, Brooke and her mother, Cathy, turned to Angels for Change. Through our national network and rapid advocacy efforts, we were able to help locate the essential IV fluids she needed to continue her care, demonstrating once again how patient-centered advocacy can make a life-saving difference.
Behind every shortage is a real person with real needs. Thank you, News10, for raising awareness around the drug shortage crisis. We are committed to advocating for patients, raising awareness, and building a more resilient and equitable pharmaceutical supply chain.
