Blood Drive Scheduled for Saturday

The Be a Hero Become a Donor Foundation is hosting a blood mobile at the Vista Hermosa Sports park.

The Be A Hero Become A Donor Foundation is hosting another blood drive in our efforts to bring back over one third of the blood supply that will be used at Saddleback Medical Center in San Clemente this year.

We work with the San Diego Blood Bank because they supply all the blood to our community hospital and they have an  extremely efficient and friendly staff.

While walk ins are welcome, you will be in and out faster if you make an appointment here. The drive is 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at the Vista Hermosa Sports Park. The bloodmobile will be located next to the pool.
