EMS Week Blood Drive – Police Department

Blood donors who donate with LifeSouth during EMS Week, May 18 through May 24 will have an opportunity to donate toward police or fire, and the organization with the most donors will be announced at the World Police and Fire Games held in Birmingham, Ala.  During the week, blood donors will receive a special t-shirt, either red for fire or blue for police, commemorating the World Police and Fire Games, and a $25 e-gift card.

Thank you for voting for the fire department in LifeSouth’s EMS Week blood drive competition for the World Police & Fire Games. Your blood donation saves lives in our community.

O- donors are known as universal donors. Since any patient can receive O- blood, it is often used in emergency situations to treat traumas and is considered the safest choice for newborns with compromised immune systems. Our community’s blood supply has reached critically low levels. Type O- donors are needed now.
