Blood Drive - Sunday, February 9
Did you know that every two seconds in America, someone urgently needs blood? Only 3% of eligible Americans currently donate blood, despite 65% of the population being eligible to do so. We encourage you to help save lives by donating during our next blood drive on Sunday, February 9, 8:00am-1:00pm.

November 18-24th is Get Smart about Antibiotics week.
CDC is inviting families, friends, organizations, and communities to shine a spotlight on antimicrobial resistance by participating in Go Purple for USAAW. This nationwide effort encourages individuals to wear purple and bring purple to their social media and invites organizations, healthcare facilities, and municipalities to light up buildings and landmarks purple to bring awareness to the role everyone has in combating antimicrobial resistance.
