Mary Rutan Hospital hosts a community blood drive from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22, when the Community Blood Center Bloodmobile will be at the 205 Palmer Ave. facility.
January is Blood Donor Awareness Month in Ohio and nationwide. The goal is to honor all donors and to maintain the blood supply against the challenges of winter weather and seasonal illness.
CBC’s goals for 2020 include: increasing donations to provide blood to more hospitals outside our traditional 15-county service area; recruiting new platelet, plasma, and double red blood cell donors; and encouraging citizens to donate and host blood drives in the spirit of the
“Dayton Strong” movement. Everyone who registers to donate will receive the special edition “Donor Strong” long-sleeve T-shirt.
