Health and Fitness : Lifeserve plans blood drive in Vinton, Sept. 13

Blood donors are needed every day to help ensure the right blood product, is available for the right patient, the moment they need it.  Often times, people think blood donations are only needed around the holidays or following major tragedies and natural disasters. 

While it is true that blood is needed following major tragedies and natural disasters, it is also true that donated blood is needed every day to meet the needs of local hospital patients.  Frequent blood donations help LifeServe Blood Center maintain a stable blood supply and to be prepared when tragedies and disasters do occur.
