Emergency Blood Shortage: Donate Blood, Save Lives
An emergency blood shortage is affecting our community, and every donation is urgently needed. Join us for community blood drives at our Charlotte and Hastings offices on Friday, July 24, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Blood donations have declined sharply, making it more difficult to ensure lifesaving care is available for patients in need. If you're eligible, please schedule an appointment and help save lives in our community. Every donor makes a difference.
Be Active. Be Safe.
Be Healthy.
A community where everyone has the opportunity to live a long, healthy, and active life
