Community Spotlight: Community Blood Center of the Ozarks Needing Donations

Today Pete is joined via phone by Chris Pilgrim with the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks, an organization that provides blood and plasma products to several local hospitals. 

Consequential to recent events, a multitude of blood drive events have been cancelled over the next several weeks in order to discourage the spread of disease.  As a result, the healthcare community is in need of blood donations now more than ever. 

If you are feeling healthy, you can donate blood at either of the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks locations in Bentonville or Springdale.  Potential donors first need to make an appointment at the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks' official website, and they also need to make sure that they are eligible for donation in the first place.
