Donate at student blood drive – help alleviate blood shortage

UNMC students will aim to lessen the shortage of blood in the Omaha area during a two-day campus blood drive next week and they need your help.

“We would absolutely love for faculty and staff to donate at this drive,” said Jeremy Peterson, president of the UNMC Student Senate. “There is a serious shortage of blood in the metro area and the Red Cross could sure use our help.”
