LifeServe Blood Center needs both new and regular blood donors to roll up a sleeve this summer.
The Cedar Falls Community Blood Drive is scheduled from 12:30 to 6 p.m. Aug. 28 at First United Methodist Church, 718 Clay St.
Heart disease is the primary cause of death in men and women in the UK and the US. Yet the indicators of heart problems often go unnoticed, and prolonged waits for tests affect a significant portion of individuals.
Local lifesaving organizations like LifeServe Blood Center often see dips in blood donations due to blood donors’ busy summer schedules. From outdoor fun to weddings and vacations, people are busy.
However, hospital patients are unable to reschedule their need for transfusions. So, this summer, the center is asking donors to spare just one hour and ensure blood is on the shelf when someone needs it.
The entire whole blood donation process is typically one hour or less. And 60 minutes of one’s time could positively impact three families. Schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800-287-4903.
