ROCKFORD — To ensure an adequate summer blood supply, Rock River Valley Blood Center is asking healthy individuals to donate blood leading up to the July 4th holiday. Both Whole Blood and Platelet Donors are Needed. All blood types are needed.
“The Fourth of July is always a challenge. We will be closed on the holiday and many of our donors are traveling or busy spending long weekends with family and friends. Our hospitals and trauma centers often have increased traffic and patient blood use during the summer. The blood must be ready to go when the calls come in, but we can’t do it without blood donors,” said Jennifer Bowman, PR/Marketing Manager.
