Valley View Hospital Sees Summer Slump In Blood Donations
The Valley View Hospital blood bank reports reduced donor turnout during summer weeks while demand remains high. Recruiters urge college fraternities National Guard units and local groups to contribute as a pool to maintain a 40 to 45 pint reserve, noting donors often inquire if an emergency is involved. The bank emphasizes its blood insurance program and notes hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week.
