September 2024 Blood Drive

8/20/2024

 
Virginia Beach, VA – On September 24, Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad will host a vital blood donation drive, inviting community members to make a life-saving contribution. The event, scheduled from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, is organized in collaboration with The Blood Connection, a crucial provider of blood supplies in the region.

This blood drive 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.

The community's involvement is more important than ever. By donating blood, participants will support this life-saving initiative, ensuring that Virginia Beach EMS remains equipped to provide the highest level of care during emergencies.

Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad encourages both first-time and regular donors to participate in this crucial event. Every donation has the potential to make a significant impact, helping to save lives within the community.

Event Details:
  • Date: September 24, 2024
  • Time: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM
  • Location: Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad
​
The community’s continued support in donating blood is not only appreciated, but is a vital component in the ongoing efforts to enhance emergency medical services in Virginia Beach.
