WAYNE – Embrace the luck of the Irish and donate blood this St. Patrick’s Day season.
According to a release, LifeServe Blood Center encourages you to ‘Give One More in ’24’ to help the local blood supply. Every two seconds, someone needs a lifesaving blood transfusion. Your local hospital relies entirely on blood donors from the community through LifeServe.
One blood donation has a huge local impact. In one hour, a single blood donor will help save or enhance the lives of up to three hospital patients in local medical centers.
The blood supplies of O+ and O- are critically low.
Upcoming blood drives over the next few weeks include Laurel, Wayne, Bancroft, Hartington and Emerson.
