Continuing Support from the Rotary Club of Del Mar for the San Diego Blood Bank

The San Diego Blood Bank Bloodmobile arrived at St. Peter’s parking lot on June 15, 2017 to gather blood donations to serve the San Diego area.  The Blood Bank processes around 10,000 units of blood per month and supplies hospitals in San Diego and throughout southern California.  They are the primary supplier to Rady Children’s Hospital and are also designated by the California Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) as the Southern California Regional Operations center to distribute blood in the event of a major disaster in California.   The Blood Bank welcomes new donors and invites the public to subscribe to its newsletter to learn about Blood Bank activities and upcoming blood drives.

 

We congratulate Del Mar Rotarian Jim King for becoming a 10 gallon lifetime donor- he even got a color-coordinated post-donation bandage!
