Your Blood, Your Community, Your Legacy

Your Blood, Your Community, Your Legacy

September 9, 2025 in Laboratory, News, Regional Medical Center

Regional Medical Center (RMC) is continuing to partner with LifeServe Blood Center as their primary blood supplier. Because the hospital in Manchester, Iowa utilizes blood products and services from LifeServe, it’s only right that all RMC blood drives are hosted through LifeServe. 

LifeServe is a community-based blood center and all blood that is donated through them remains in the community. So when you donate at an RMC blood drive, you are donating your blood to save lives in local neighborhoods and communities. RMC relies on LifeServe and LifeServe relies on local donors and community support. Blood donor KeriAnne Schmidt shares why she donates, “Donating blood has always been an important thing for me to do because it’s something really small that can help so many others. Working in healthcare, I directly see the need for blood and how it can really save lives. I also love donating through LifeServe, because I know that it will help someone in this community and surrounding areas!” 

Whether you’ve donated once or one hundred times, it’s important to make sure your lifesaving impact is counted and celebrated. That’s why LifeServe makes it easy to transfer your donation accomplishments, including your gallon milestones and total donation count. Transferring is simple. Just reach out to the LifeServe team at your next donation appointment or fill out a quick online form to get started. 

RMC is hosting their next LifeServe blood drive on Tuesday, September 23rd from 12-5PM in the RMC Veterans Education Center (Level 3). To schedule your appointment, visit lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 1-800-287-4903.
