Corrections facilities across the state of Indiana teamed up to see how many blood donations they could collect. Known as the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) statewide blood drive, the blood donor partnership with the American Red Cross took place at 11 of the IDOC’s facilities from July 13 through Sept. 30. During the statewide blood drive 415 pints of blood were collected at Red Cross blood drives. Since each blood donation has the potential to help save up to three lives, nearly 1,245 lives could be impacted by the donations from this partnership. The Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross is responsible for collecting nearly 137,000 units of blood each year. To do that, 500 volunteer donations of blood are needed each and every day in our community. Corrections professionals have a strong sense of duty, honor, and patriotism and are often looking for additional ways to help their community. This statewide blood drive provided an opportunity for corrections professionals to make a positive impact on their community and the blood supply. Read More. |
