Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center Blood Drive
Thank you to the Cuivre River Electric member/owners and individuals in our communities for taking the time to donate blood on Thursday, September 9th at our Lake Saint Louis Branch Office.
The Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center supplies St. Louis area SSM Health Centers, including Cardinal Glennon, St. Joseph's and St. Joseph's West.
We all expect blood to be there for us, but barely a fraction of those who can give do. Yet sooner or later, virtually all of us will face a time of great vulnerability in which we will need blood. And that time is all too often unexpected.
From its beginning, the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center has formed a community of service, of generous, strong and decent people bound by beliefs beyond themselves. The honor, spirit and resources of the American people come forth with neighbors helping neighbors in need — during earthquakes, floods, fires, storms — and also for the deeply personal and often quiet disasters that require a gift of blood.
For more information on the Cuivre River Blood Drive event contact Lori Montgomery at 636-528-8261 ext. 4710.
To help you remember to schedule your blood donations and other regular screening tests, the College of American Pathologists encourages you to sign up for an e-mail reminder today at www.MyHealthTestReminder.com.
