There will be a blood drive Thursday.
Blood donation centers throughout the U.S. are experiencing a significant drop in donations and that's limiting the ability of the nation's blood supply to be replenished. El Centro Regional Medical Center and Lifestream will host a blood drive this Thursday in El Centro. The blood mobile will be at the ECRMC Medical Office Building at 1271 Ross from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00p.m. Eligible donors are asked to drink plenty of fluids and bring a photo I.D. Safe distancing will be performed during screenings and in waiting areas.
