DES MOINES – Local physicians warn that summer, known as “trauma season,” leads to a spike in accidents and medical emergencies, putting a strain on the community’s blood supply. Despite the rising need, blood donations tend to decline during this time, creating a serious challenge.
Your local hospitals rely 100% on donations from LifeServe blood donors. We urge all eligible donors to give blood as soon as possible to help ensure our community is prepared for emergencies.
