Sibley and Rock Valley, Iowa — We’re headed into the summer. And not only does that mean a greater need for blood due to more people being out and more traumas, but blood donations also go down because people are busy.
That’s from Community Blood Bank executive director Ken VerSteeg, who tells us that there are a couple of opportunities for you to help them out in the next week or so.
The Siouxland Community Bloodmobile will be holding their next blood drive this Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at the Osceola Community Hospital in Sibley. Officials there ask you to please take some time out of your day and give the gift of life. They say the life you save may be someone you know.
VerSteeg gives us some details.
He tells us some things to keep in mind.
Staff at the hospital tell us you can call the Osceola Community Hospital Laboratory to make an appointment at 712-754-5358. Again, the Sibley Blood Drive is on Wednesday, May 22nd.
But VerSteeg tells us that next week, they’ll be in Rock Valley at Hegg Health Center Avera. That drive is on Tuesday, May 28th. That’s the day after Memorial Day. They’ll be there from 1 to 3 p.m.
