Community Blood Drive

Description

Blood donations are needed every day to improve health outcomes and save lives. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Blood is essential to providing life-saving treatment and care, and one blood donation can save three lives. Research shows that during the summer months, blood donations decline by more than 30 percent. Unfortunately, blood donations during these months do not meet the high demand. If just one more percent of Americans started giving blood regularly, blood shortages would disappear. Dr. Ioppolo of Hill & Ioppolo Oral and Facial Surgeons of Lubbock has partnered with United Blood Services to host a Community Blood Drive to save lives in our community and around the country. We depend on donations from volunteers to ensure there is an ample blood supply. Donating blood is one of the simplest ways to give back to your community. Your blood donation can provide a person with a second chance at life. Help us save lives by volunteering to donate!
