Boyd Memorial Hospital will host a Community Blood Drive on Thursday, January 23rd. The event is scheduled from 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm in the Reisch Dining Room at 800 School Street.
The hospital emphasizes its commitment to providing "Healthcare from the Heart." This blood drive aligns with that mission by contributing essential blood donations for saving lives, fighting cancer, supporting surgeries, and aiding trauma patients. According to the hospital, "Every pint of blood donated can help save up to three lives."
In collaboration with ImpactLife, Boyd Memorial Hospital encourages community participation in this lifesaving initiative. Donors are urged to schedule appointments online or by calling Liz Lehr at 217-942-6946. Walk-ins are also welcome but appointments are recommended for efficiency.
The hospital highlights several reasons for donating blood: "Blood transfusions are a critical part of emergency care and surgeries," it states. Donations also support cancer patients and serve as acts of kindness that strengthen the community. Additionally, they provide a way to honor loved ones.
Participation in the blood drive contributes directly to community health and well-being. Boyd Memorial Hospital underscores its belief in community power and giving back through such events.
For further information about the blood drive or other upcoming events, interested individuals can visit Boyd Memorial Hospital's website or contact them directly.
