Posted

A community blood drive will be held on March 9, sponsored by Coryell Health and Carter BloodCare. The blood drive will be held at the main hospital in the front parking lot. Coryell Health and Carter BloodCare welcome anyone who would like to attend to come and donate. 

 

Blood donated with Carter BloodCare goes to patients across North, Central, and East Texas as well as family, friends, and neighbors. People face emergencies every day such as older adults with age-related health issues, mothers experiencing difficulties during childbirth, and major accidents to name a few.  Carter BloodCare serves more than 200 medical facilities in 50 plus counties in Texas.  

 

Carter BloodCare is the sole supplier of blood units for Coryell Health. Each donation from Carter BloodCare is contributing to our community. Coryell Health gives an average of 23 units of blood to patients per month, so it's very important to have donors to keep the supply available.
