Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad is proud to partner with The Blood Connection for our community blood drives.
This partnership comes at a critical time, as Virginia Beach EMS has recently implemented a groundbreaking Whole Blood Initiative, which allows first responders to administer whole blood directly at the scene of emergencies. This initiative has already proven to be a game-changer in saving lives, particularly in situations where every second counts. The Blood Connection is the primary supplier of the whole blood used by VB EMS, making this drive essential to maintaining the success of the program.
