IV Fluid Disruption

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, hospitals across the U.S. are dealing with the impact of IV solution shortages due to the temporary shutdown of Baxter International's IV fluid manufacturing facility in North Carolina. The facility supplies around 60% of IV solutions used by hospitals in the U.S. every day, but Hurricane Helene has caused the plant to temporarily stop operations. The R7DHRE team has created a webpage for more information, resources, and situational updates regarding the current IV fluid disruption.
