Desert Care Network and LifeStream hosting summer blood drives

Historically, summer brings a shortage in blood donations.

Desert Care Network is hosting summer blood drives at all three of its locations to help combat these shortages.

The network has partnered with LifeStream Blood Bank to meet patient needs. It aims to collect 500 donations daily to support its facilities.

At Desert Regional Medical Center, 150 to 175 patients receive blood transfusions monthly, including new mothers, newborns, cancer patients, and trauma patients.
