The American Red Cross, which supplies 40% of the nation's blood, recently declared a national blood crisis. The pandemic has reduced the number of blood drives, reduced staff availability, and there have been fewer available blood donors. The result has been a severe shortage. Some hospitals aren’t receiving the blood they need for patients.
Comanche County Medical Center (CCMC) is hosting a community blood drive on the main campus at 10201 Highway 16 North (TX-16), Comanche. If you’re eligible to donate, please come out on Monday, January 31, between 1:00pm and 6:00pm, and give blood. The Hendrick Regional Blood mobile will be set up in the parking lot. No appointment is necessary.
