Giving Blood Saves Lives
Blood is needed each day in the United States to sustain the lives of patients in need. Whether used for surgery, traumas, during cancer treatment or other life-threatening medical conditions, blood is used to provide hope.
There are many blood suppliers in the country. Community Blood Bank is a jointly-shared resource between Avera and Sanford Health systems, completely independent of other blood bank organizations.
