Pint for a Pint: Versiti Blood Center of Ohio taps into breweries to hold donation drives Central Ohio breweries have been responding to that need ever since the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic hit last year. Heather Sever, vice president and director of donor services for Versiti Blood Center of Ohio, said it might seem like an unlikely pairing – breweries serving as hosts for blood-donation events. But, she said, the brewery community, as well as distilleries and wineries, are known for giving back to the community. Versiti Blood Center of Ohio joins four other Versiti Inc. blood centers in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, as well as the Blood Research Institute, which offers biomedical research innovation to improve blood health, according to Versiti's Ohio page: versiti.org/ohio.
