According to the governor's office, Federal Emergency Management Agency teams will go to the Elliot Hospital in Manchester as well as Concord Hospital and Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital. Dr. Holly Mintz, of the Elliot Hospital, said they are "very confident" that over the next few weeks they should be able to treat hundreds of patients with the appropriate antibody.
