(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - The Highpoint Health/Hoxworth summer blood drive is Tuesday, June 30, 8:30 am to 3 pm, in the hospital’s conference room, located on the second floor.
“Now that elective surgeries are taking place at our area hospitals again, our inventory of Types O-, A+, A- and B+ have fallen drastically,” said Alecia Lipton, Director of Public Relations at Hoxworth. “Please donate at the Highpoint Health/Hoxworth Blood Drive so we can re-stock our shelves and ensure we are prepared for whatever tomorrow brings.”
