ECRMC holds blood drive in March

CBS 13 On Your Side at 10 with Vince Ybarra.

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The El Centro Regional Medical Center held a blood drive to restock on what they almost didn't have during the pandemic.

The medical center said how it almost didn't have any blood to give for patients, as the United States was also suffering from low blood donations.

"At some point, we really were waiting for blood to arrive, thank God the blood banks were working together really well, there is a great network of the blood banks and we never went without blood but we encourage the public to always come and donate," said one person from ECRMC.

Another blood drive is planned for March 17 and March 18, with another on February 17 in front of the Imperial Valley Mall.
