  MANCHESETER – By using a new progressive medical intervention at AristaCare, a 99-year-old veteran has successfully recovered from COVID-19.

  Irv Hurwitz, a 99-year-old World War II veteran, has been a volunteer at the Ocean County Library for 12 years. In the past year, Irv faced some of the toughest challenges of his life.

  In September, his wife of 75 years passed away. Then in January Irv contracted COVID-19. Having underlying medical conditions and his old age, there was little chance of him recovering. Luckily, AristaCare’s medical professionals where there to help treat Irv.

  Using a groundbreaking treatment titled Monoclonal Antibody Therapy, medical professionals used “laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful pathogens, such as the COVID-19 viruses.” According to the FDA, this treatment has been shown in clinical trials to help reduce COVID-19 related hospitalization and deaths.

  Today, Irv celebrates recovering from COVID-19 thanks to this progressive new therapy administered by AristaCare. He’s now able to enjoy time with two daughters as well as his grandchildren.

  AristaCare is administering Monoclonal Antibody Therapy at all their centers. To learn more about this new treatment, contact AristaCare at 908-315-3400 Ext. 225 or Sam@aristacare.com.
