Call the 24/7 hotline at 828-4-Plasma (828-475-2762) even on Shabbos or Yom Tov with a
shinui to set up treatment. A Non-Jew should be used for transportation (we can assist in
setup) to and from treatment.

Call the hotline if you have Risk factors. Do NOT delay, as this may be a matter of Pikuach
Nefesh. Early treatment is vital.
