Today, over 38,000 caring individuals volunteer as donors each year. These donors enable the Blood Center to provide services to 23 medical facilities in its 10-county service area. The Blood Center has seen considerable growth and regulatory changes. Michelle Mathis, will give the club an update on the Coastal Bend Blood Center on Thursday.
