The LifeServe Blood Center urges blood donors to roll up a sleeve in order to save local hospital patients this September.
LifeServe Blood Center is the sole provider of blood to more than 120 hospitals across Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. In order to make sure LifeServe’s hospital partners’ needs are met, blood donors are needed each and every day — whether first-time donors or gallon-level givers.
Blood cannot be created in a lab, and there is no substitute available, so if a hospital patient in our area needs a transfusion, that blood comes directly from LifeServe Blood Center donors.
Roll up a sleeve this month at a blood drive in your community. You never know whom you will be saving. It could be a community member, neighbor or even a loved one. Two blood drives are scheduled in Dallas County this month:
- Dexter Community Blood Drive, Monday, Sept. 16 from 3- 6:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, 309 Marshall St. in Dexter
- Perry Community Blood Drive, Friday, Sept. 27 from 2-6 p.m. at the Dallas County Hospital, 610 10th St. in Perry
Donors may also sign up to save a life today online at the LifeServe Blood Center website or by calling 800-287-4903.
