Successful Blood Drive Held at Ogeechee Tech

The American Red Cross Bloodmobile visited Ogeechee Technical College recently with a goal of 44 units of blood. The drive was very successful and surpassed the goal with a total of 60 units of blood collected. Nancy Martin, Senior Account Manager with the American Red Cross Blood Services, stated, “The efforts of Ogeechee Technical College have always been greatly appreciated and their support of the community blood program will go a long way toward replenishing blood supplies and ultimately saving lives.” Various organizations on the OTC campus sponsor each blood drive visit. The most recent bloodmobile was sponsored by the College’s Medical Assisting program. Students and faculty members from the program recruited donors, assisted with the drive the day of the event, and also gave blood. “A blood drive is not only a great community service project, but for our medical program students it is good clinical experience,” stated Academic Dean, Teresa Allen.
