Owensboro Health Helps Secure Second Bloodmobile
Owensboro Health
Soon there will be a new state-of-the-art bloodmobile hitting the road. It will help the Western Kentucky Regional Blood Center increase the number of possible mobile blood drives across the region. In addition to the donation from Owensboro Health, the purchase was funded by a recent grant from Impact 100, donations from Wal-Mart Giving, the Fraternal Order of Eagles 4168 and an additional $20,000 from raffles held by WKRBC.
According to the statement provided from Owensboro Health this morning, Owensboro Health is a signature financial partner in this project - a natural partnership since it will help WKRBC fulfill the blood supply needs for Owensboro Health Regional Hospital and eight other medical facilities in western Kentucky.
Kathi Reed spent about 20 minutes Tuesday afternoon relaxing in a chair at the Western Kentucky Regional Blood Center on South Virginia Street drinking a Coca-Cola while giving her one-pint donation.
The Hopkinsville High School business teacher estimates she has donated about 5 gallons of blood at the center through the years.
âItâs one of those things you can do to give back to your community,â she said. âThereâs a lot of things people do â they give money, they give time. As a teacher I stay incredibly busy and give a lot of extra time to my students, but this is a way I can give back to the community at large.â
