Cape Cod Hospitals In Need Of Blood Donations: See June Drives

HYANNIS, MA — Are you looking for a way to help others and make a difference in the community? Cape Cod Healthcare could use residents' help replenishing its blood supply.

Cape Cod and Falmouth hospitals need at least one week's worth of blood on hand at all times, since each unit collected or purchased only lasts 42 days. All blood types are welcome, but specifically, the hospitals need donations from people with O negative blood.

All blood collected at Cape Cod Healthcare blood drives stays on Cape Cod. Donors to blood drives in April will receive a free Amazon gift card.

Appointments are required at all blood drives. To make an appointment at an upcoming blood drive, please visit www.capecodhealth.org/give-blood
