Headquarters (HQ) staff from CDCR and CCHCS rolled up their sleeves to donate through a blood drive in Elk Grove.
In the back parking lot of building E, the bloodmobile was ready for donors first thing in the morning April 29.
“Local hospitals are facing a critical need for blood, and your donation can help save lives. Every donation truly counts,” organizers said.
The HQ staff blood drive was organized by the CCHCS Office of Employee Health Management.
