Winter storms across the country have disrupted blood donation efforts, leaving hospitals struggling to maintain the supply needed for patients. With cancellations, icy roads, and travel delays, the nation’s blood banks are running low. But here in Hereford, we have a chance to make a difference.
Hereford Regional Medical Center is hosting a community blood drive on Friday, March 14, 2025, and we invite you to be a part of it. Every donation has the power to save a life — whether it’s a trauma patient, someone undergoing surgery, or a neighbor battling a chronic illness.
