Staff council and the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) invite donors to participate in the 14th annual Salute a Veteran Blood Drive from 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 30, at the Havener Center. Participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt and may dedicate their donation to the veteran of their choice.
As of June 16, the CBCO has issued a Code Yellow Alert for all blood types. There is less than a two-day supply of blood on hospital shelves. Your donation is needed to replenish the supply. It takes more than 275 donations each day to meet the needs of the 37 area hospitals that use CBCO products. A single donation can save the lives of up to three people. For more information about this blood drive, check out the CBCO’s website at www.cbco.org.
