The need for blood never stops especially since someone in the United States needs a lifesaving transfusion every two seconds. In LifeServe Blood Center’s service area alone, more than 3,000 units of blood are needed each week to meet the needs of hospital patients.
As Spring comes to an end, and we head into summer, help us make sure a safe and stable blood supply is available by scheduling your next appointment at an upcoming blood drive:
