(Batesville, IN) – The 24th annual WRBI/St. Louis Catholic Church Blood Drive held last Wednesday collected a significant number of units for Hoxworth Blood Center.
During the event in the St. Louis Parish Activity Center, 68 units were collected which, Hoxworth says, will save up to 204 lives.
Seventy-nine people rolled up their sleeves – 11 of whom were first-time blood donors.
Hoxworth says the blood collected at the event will help ensure there is an adequate blood supply for patients in the community and goes to save the lives of family, friends, and neighbors throughout Southeastern Indiana and other parts of the Tri-State.
Hoxworth Blood Center is the sole provider of blood products to over 30 Tri-State hospitals, including Margaret Mary Health.
