San Antonio Community Hospital and American Red Cross develop partnership through blood
The San Antonio Community Hospital and the American Red Cross are officially bonded through blood.
The two organizations held their first blood drive Thursday - representing the beginning of a new partnership.
"The Red Cross is located very close to us, so we just met with them and decided to look into building a relationship with their corporation," said Steven Moreau, president and CEO of San Antonio Community Hospital.
Having the partnership means blood can only be given to the hospital through donations to the red cross.
The monthly blood drives at the hospital will now be facilitated through the red cross as well.
"Everyone can afford to give blood," Moreau said. "It's one thing everybody can do to help people, particularly at this time with the economic struggle."
Blood flowed from the arms of hospital employees and volunteers to help restore the hospital's own blood supply, which decreases by about 6,800 units of blood a year.

I started reading from the first issue and bought from the third. I was wondering what happened as I haven't been able to find it in the book shop for ages. Sigh. It was THE BEST gaming inlandvalleyredcross along with Mean Machines from England. A part of my youth died today finding this news! I just read online now that the mag might be coming back on Dec. 1st.
