(Long Island, NY) Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R,C,I-South Huntington) recently welcomed Kedrion Biopharmaceutical Company to the Huntington-Melville area. Kedrion collects and fractionates human blood plasma to create and issue plasma-derived therapies for use in treating severe diseases such as hemophilia and immune system deficiencies.
“Kedrion BioPharma will be such an asset to our community by helping create good jobs and bringing a new industry to Suffolk County. Even more impressive, it has announced that it will be working with the Town of Huntington to create a new children’s playground and park,” said Lupinacci.
