LifeServe Blood Center and Monroe County Hospital continue to celebrate their partnership. LifeServe Blood Center, ranked as one of the top 15 blood centers in the country, will become the sole supplier of all blood and blood products to Monroe County Hospital in Albia, Iowa starting in November of last year.
LifeServe Blood Center provides 100% of all blood products needed to more than 160 hospitals across Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. The partnership between LifeServe and Monroe County Hospital allows Monroe County residents and community members the opportunity to save lives in their neighborhoods. As a community-based blood center, LifeServe only hosts blood drives in the communities where that blood will go back into the area hospitals.
It is impossible to know who will need blood at any given time, but when donors donate blood with LifeServe, they now know that it will go to someone in need in their community.
“We’re thrilled to be offering community members in Monroe County and the surrounding area the opportunity to make sure their donation stays local,” said Danielle West, Regional Vice President at LifeServe Blood Center. “You never know when you, your neighbor, a family member, or a friend may need a lifesaving blood transfusion; and when they do, those blood products will come from blood donors who give with LifeServe Blood Center.”
Blood donors do more in one hour than most will do in a lifetime by giving the gift of life! Monroe County Hospital invites the community to join their partnership with LifeServe at their upcoming blood drive on April 10 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in Conference Rooms A & B at the hospital. To schedule your lifesaving donation, visit lifeservebloodcenter.org or call LifeServe at 800.287.4903.
