Forty-three students, staff, and faculty donated enough units of life-saving blood to help as many as 110 patients in our area hospitals.

Partnering with Our Blood Institute, the annual Nursing and Health Science Blood Drive at NPC took place on October 24 and 25 in the Frederick M. Dierks Center for Nursing and Health Sciences.

Dean of Nursing and Health Sciences, Janice Ivers said, 鈥淭he 中国P站 Blood Drive has become a vital tradition, fostering a spirit of giving and support among the students and faculty. The participation of 43 donors is a testament to the dedication of the NPC community, and their willingness to make a real difference in the lives of those in need. This year's turnout is particularly impressive, as it translates to 110 potential lives saved, underscoring the significant impact of such initiatives.鈥

鈥淭he success of this year's blood drive is a source of pride for the entire National Park College community. The selflessness of the donors and their commitment to this noble cause have not gone unnoticed. The contributions of these individuals have the potential to touch countless lives, and their collective effort demonstrates the positive influence that a small, tightly-knit community can have on the broader world,鈥 added Ivers.
