Blood Drive hosted by Visalia Medical Clinic

Visalia Medical Clinic will host a blood drive on Thursday, July 6, with the Central California Blood Bank to help replenish the critically low blood supply in the region.
 
The drive will be offered from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Visalia Medical Clinic, 5400 W. Hillsdale. Donors who register in advance will receive a $15 gift certificate from Tahoe Joe’s when they check in at the blood mobile on July 6. To register, call 738-7547 or email Angel Sears at asears@vmchealth.com. Walk-ins will also be accepted. A photo ID will be required, and potential donors will have pulse, blood pressure, temperature and iron levels checked to insure their safety before donating.
 
Donors who are O negative or O positive are especially needed. For information about donating blood, including facts and myths, visit www.donateblood.org.
