MIHS Blood Bank Seeking Donors for September Blood Drive

These products include red blood cells, plasma, cryoprecipitate and platelets. Therefore, it’s crucial to take part in their 5 MIHS sponsored Blood Drives throughout the year. Please make a note that their next blood drive is being held on September 30th, from 7 AM to 4:30 PM in the Maricopa Rooms at Maricopa Medical Center. Here are some other interesting statistics about why becoming a blood donor saves lives:
