This past weekend, my friends at the Blood Bank of Delmarva opened a brand new blood donor room - The Christiana Center. I had been expecting this opening for months, between construction and schedules, the opening date had been pushed back a bit from it's original projected date.I was saddened that I was not able to be a part of the ribbon cutting as it fell on the same day as my daughter's recital, however, I'm very excited that there is even more opportunity for donors to save even more lives!
Already taking in donors, this center is state of the art for donors and for distribution. It provides confidence and security in knowing that donors will have safe environment to donate and that the supply is available for those in need.
The Blood Bank of Delmarva is a non-profit, community service program that provides blood for the 17 hospitals in Delaware and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. More than 350blood donors are needed every day to meet the needs of patients at those hospitals. Their mission is to serve our community by meeting the needs of patients, hospitals, and members for safe, high quality blood products and related services. Each year, more than 20,000 patients in our area need blood transfusions to survive.Let's join in the celebration of the opening of this beautiful facility and continue saving lives, one donor at a time!
