LECOM Bradenton Hosts a bloodmobile blood drive with Suncoast Blood Centers!

Hosting a blood drive is a wonderful way to get together and make a difference for your community. The blood drive helps maintain a safe, adequate supply of blood products and positively impacts the lives of local patients in need – as well as their friends and families. Having an adequate supply of blood products on the shelves for local hospitals is vital every day, and especially during a time when the community’s medical resources are operating at full capacity.
