Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC) is partnering with the American Red Cross and LifeFlight of Maine to host quarterly blood drives that will be held at the Lewiston hospital.
The first will be held on Jan. 20 on the CMMC campus at the A,B,C Conference Room, 12 High Street, from 10 a.m.-2:45 p.m.
Donations will be made by appointment only.
There will be different themes for each of these blood drives. The theme for the first is “Grateful.” Those who attend will be encouraged to sign a “Grateful Board” that will be on display at the blood drive.
“This is a meaningful way for the people of central Maine to help ensure we have adequate blood supplies on hand,” said Jennifer Bodger, senior vice president, Operations, Central Maine Healthcare. “As we have seen in recent years, we can never know when the demand for blood will spike. That is why we decided to hold these blood drives on a regular basis and attach themes to them that underscore the importance of donating.
“I would like to thank our partners at LifeFlight of Maine and the American Red Cross for helping make this happen.”
