Angels for Change is proud to announce a significant milestone in Project PROTECT.

The significance of this achievement is highlighted by the recent flooding at Baxter's North Cove manufacturing site due to Hurricane Helene, which prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to include Dextrose on its drug shortage list as of October 12, 2024.
