WARREN, Ark. (6/18/25) – Bradley County Medical Center is proud to announce an upcoming LifeShare Blood Drive on Friday, June 27 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., in the BCMC Rural Health Clinic Parking Lot located at 304 E Central Street across the street from the hospital.

This vital event aims to support local hospitals and patients in need of life-saving blood transfusions. All eligible donors are encouraged to participate and help make a difference in the lives of others by donating blood on Friday, June 27. Blood drives are the main source of blood for hospitals in our region, including Bradley County Medical Center. Potential donors can reserve a time slot online through the donor portal on www.lifeshare.org. You do not have to make an appointment as walk-ins are encouraged.

Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood and nearly 42,000 blood components are used by patients every day. One of every seven people who enter the hospital will need blood. That person could be you, your loved one, friend, or co-worker. With all the wonderful advances in modern medicine, there still is no substitute for human blood. The blood that helps patients comes only from caring people who volunteer to help others by donating their life-saving blood.

“Summer is a critical time for blood donations,” said BCMC Public Relations Specialist Dennen Cuthbertson. “With schools out and families traveling, blood supplies often run low. This drive is an opportunity for our community to come together and support those in urgent medical need.”

Every year, countless lives are saved through the generosity of blood donors, and Bradley County Medical Center is calling upon the community to join forces for this life-saving cause. The event aims to boost blood supplies during a crucial time, ensuring that hospitals and medical facilities in our region have an ample and steady blood inventory.

LifeShare Blood Center, established in Shreveport, La., in 1942, regularly supplies blood components and related services to more than 100 medical facilities and hospitals throughout Louisiana, East Texas and South Arkansas. LifeShare is a member of America’s Blood Centers and the American Rare Donor Program, is licensed by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and accredited by AABB. LifeShare Blood Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community blood bank governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees.
