Community Blood Drive Monday

A Thermopolis Community Blood Drive held by United Blood Services will be from 3-7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at the Hot Springs County Senior Center.

Hot Springs County Hospital Auxiliary member Melene Mierzejewski said 32 units were collected locally during the July blood drive. The goal for each blood drive is to collect at least 25 units.

To set up an appointment for the blood drive, individuals can call Mierzejewski at 307-240-1414 or they can do so online at http://www.bloodhero.com using the sponsor code “Thermopolis.” Individuals can also do the pre-check self-interview so they will not have to wait 40 minutes before giving blood at the drive by visiting http://www.unitedbloodservices.org.

Walk-in appointments may be available but it is best to preregister to guarantee a spot. The blood drive is hosted by Hot Springs County Hospital Auxiliary. The next blood drive in Thermopolis is set for Nov. 14.
