MBMC To Hold Blood Drive December 17th
Join your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors, and do your part to help save lives by coming to the next blood drive at Mile Bluff Medical Center. On Tuesday, December 17 from 9 am to 2 pm, you can impact the health of your community by donating blood.
Anyone who would like to make a donation is encouraged to make an appointment by midnight the night before the drive. Doing this allows the Blood Center of Wisconsin to know how many people are expected the next day. Walk-ins will still be welcome at the Mile Bluff drives, but walk-ins will be asked to book a donation time based on appointment availability.
You can save up to three lives in your community by donating blood. The Blood Center of Wisconsin is the sole provider of blood to the medical center.
Make a blood donation on December 17 at Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston. To reserve your spot, call the Blood Center of Wisconsin at 1-877-232-4376 or visit www.bdw.edu and search for Mile Bluff in the mobile drives.
