Brownwood Regional Medical Center (BRMC) and United Blood Services (UBS) hosted their first blood drive of 2011 and had a special visitor drop by. “UBIE” the UBS mascot made a special appearance during the drive and spent hours posing in pictures with donors and visiting those in the hospital. Pictured with UBIE are Alex Hernandez and Florence Garza.
This year BRMC will be raffling $100 Wal-Mart Gift Cards at each blood drive hosted at the hospital. All you have to do to be eligible to win is donate your lifesaving blood during one of the upcoming BRMC blood drives. Did you know that UBS is the sole provider of blood to BRMC? What a great way to support our local community by donating during one of our upcoming drives. Just one donation can help two to three patients.
The dates for the BRMC and UBS blood drives in 2011 are March 10th, July 28th, October 13th, May 23rd, and December 16th. All blood drives will be held in the hospital Annex on the West Side of BRMC.
