BAKER CITY – The first Baker City Community Blood Drive of the year was held this week and in total organizers were able to collect 112 units of blood during the one-day event.
According to Robin Keir, Blood Program Leader, “The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.”
The next Baker City Blood Drive is scheduled for March 27 and March 28, 2023.
