LIFESERVE TO BUILD NEW LOCAL BLOOD BANK

LIFE SERVE BLOOD CENTER, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE SIOUXLAND BLOOD BANK, HAS BROKEN GROUND ON A NEW FACILITY.

CENTER DIRECTOR JAN TWAIT SAYS THE BUILDING WILL BE CONSTRUCTED IN PHASES, BEGINNING WITH A STAGING SITE AND GARAGE FOR THEIR FLEET OF MOBILE COLLECTION VEHICLES:

TWAIT SAYS THE NEW LOCATION IN SINGING HILLS WILL PROVIDE BETTER MOBILE ACCESS TO THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM. MOST OF THE BLOOD COLLECTED FOR THE 92 TRI-STATE HOSPITALS SERVED BY THE BLOOD BANK COMES FROM MOBILE UNIT DONATIONS:



THE NEW LIFESERVE CENTER WILL BE BUILT ACROSS FROM THE BASEBALL STADIUM ON LINE DRIVE.  LOCAL COLLECTIONS WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE PLACE AT 1019 JONES STREET FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR.
