Since the beginning of the year, Avera St. Mary’s Hospital has been receiving 100% of the blood products needed for patient care from LifeServe Blood Center. To ensure St. Mary’s Hospital and its patients have the blood products they need, a blood drive is being held this afternoon (Aug. 4, 2022) in Onida. It’ll run from 12:30–5:15pm at the Phoenix Center (110 S. Main Street).
As a community-based blood center, LifeServe Blood Center only hosts blood drives in the communities where that blood will go back into the area hospitals. To ensure blood donors continue to support their local hospital, LifeServe will honor any blood donor’s current donation and gallon level milestones when they donate with LifeServe.
If you’re interested in donating blood at the Onida community blood drive, please contact Mary Jo Stier at 605-222-3857. You may also call 800-287-4903 or visit www.lifeservebloodcenter.org.
LifeServe Blood Center, ranked as one of the top 15 blood centers in the country, provides 100% of all blood products needed to more than 130 hospitals across South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa.
