Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 60% of blood drives in South Texas have been canceled. As a result, trauma care centers and hospitals don’t have the blood they need to treat patients.
A shortage of blood not only puts patients at risk, but it affects our neighbors, families, and friends – imagine if someone you love couldn’t get the blood they needed.
Throughout 2021, the third week of each month will be designated as “Frost Friends & Family Week” at the six South Texas Blood & Tissue Center locations in San Antonio and New Braunfels.
Frost employees can use their community service hours to donate blood and platelets.
