WARREN, Ark. – There will be a LifeShare Blood Drive on Thursday, Oct. 26 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the LifeShare bus that will be set up in the BCMC Rural Health Clinic parking lot. The BCMC Rural Health Clinic is located at 304 East Central Street across the road from the Emergency Room entrance at Bradley County Medical Center.
Blood donations are urgently needed as blood donations are in a downturn across the nation. Local blood drives are the main source of blood for Bradley County Medical Center and the other hospitals in our region. If you can donate blood, please consider becoming a contributor on Oct. 26. Donors will receive a free pair of LifeShare socks, while supplies last. Potential donors can reserve a time slot online through the donor portal on www.lifeshare.org.
Every two seconds, someone somewhere needs blood. One of every seven people who enter the hospital will need blood. That person could be you, your loved one, friend, or co-worker. With all the wonderful advances in modern medicine, there still is NO substitute for human blood. The blood that helps patients comes only from caring people who volunteer to help others by donating their life-saving blood.
LifeShare Blood Center, established in Shreveport, La., in 1942, regularly supplies blood components and related services to more than 100 medical facilities and hospitals throughout Louisiana, East Texas and South Arkansas. LifeShare is a member of America’s Blood Centers and the American Rare Donor Program, is licensed by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and accredited by AABB. LifeShare Blood Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community blood bank governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees.
