MONROE, La.– The University of Louisiana Monroe Medical Laboratory Science Society and LifeShare Blood Center join together for a two-day blood drive on Tuesday, January 27 and Wednesday, January 28 to help save lives.
The blood drive will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on both days in the Hangar Ballroom A on the second floor of the ULM SUB.
January is National Blood Donor Appreciation Month. Donors will receive their choice of a free LifeShare Mardi Gras themed t-shirt or a LifeShare sweatshirt while supplies last.
Every two seconds, someone somewhere needs blood. LifeShare has to collect approximately 500 units a day to meet patients’ blood needs throughout the community.
“Donating blood is a selfless act of service that strengthens our community by meeting a vital need for patients—a need that cannot be met otherwise,” said Katie Patrick, Assistant Professor of Medical Laboratory Science.
