Peace Blood Drive September 28 |
IS IT SAFE TO GIVE BLOOD AGAIN?
On Monday, September 28 from 3-7 pm, Peace will be hosting the Peace Blood Drive in the Great Room. You may be asking yourself, “Is this too soon?” COVID-19 has made many of us hyper-cautious. But as with all things in this pandemic there are tradeoffs. With the postponing of many medical procedures for months, the need for blood is now greater than ever. Versiti/Heartland Blood Center is in full compliance with both state and federal safety guidelines.
The Peace Blood Drive will be no exception with thorough health screening, mask-wearing,
social distancing (where possible) and other safety procedures. Give it some thought.
