RMC to Host Blood Drive During National Blood Donor Month

January 13, 2026 in Laboratory, News, Regional Medical Center

In celebration of National Blood Donor Month this January, Regional Medical Center (RMC) is hosting a community blood drive along with LifeServe Blood Center on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.

The need for blood is urgent and constant. Every two seconds, someone in our country requires blood, and on any given day, an average of 42,000 blood components are used by patients. That amounts to more than 15 million red blood cells, platelets, and plasma transfused last year alone. Despite this high demand, only three percent of all Americans choose to donate blood. 

“Starting the year with a blood donation is one of the most impactful ways to give back to our community,” said Venita Minnicozzi, RMC Lab Manager. “As we celebrate National Blood Donor Month, we are calling on everyone to make a blood donation part of their New Year’s resolutions. One single donation can save up to three lives.”
