blood drive

Hospitals can't run out of blood, and there are worries that things may be getting to the point. And, what happens to your blood after it's donated?

When you give blood, you're giving the gift of life. There is no substitute for human blood. And when a patient’s life is on the line, blood must be on hand.

Carter BloodCare is hitting streets with their mobile unit this week to help you give back to others in need. Want to answer the call to donate blood? Here's where to find them.

When you see red in the holiday colors this month – think of hospital patients in need of something red that only another person like you can gift to them – your blood.

In the aftermath of chaos and lives lost in Dallas recently, Carter BloodCare is grateful to loyal blood donors who made sure the blood center could supply local hospitals with blood products required to treat police officers and civilians, injured during an ambush following a protest march.

Stop by and donate today.
