Mary Rutan Hospital hosts a community blood drive from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 26, at 205 Palmer Ave., Bellefontaine.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the special- edition “Counting on You in 2022” long-sleeve T-shirt.
Schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call (937) 461-3220.
The Community Blood Center has a special need for donors during January Blood Donor Month. The CBC’s message is “We’re Counting on you in 2022.” Blood is in short supply nationwide and in the CBC region high demand continues for type O blood.
CBC is urging eligible community members to donate at least twice in 2022 and asking type O, A-negative and Bnegative donors to consider making an automated double red cell donation.
Many businesses and organizations are not hosting blood drives as many employees continue to work from home. CBC encourages remote workers to find a local blood drive and donate.
