WCC and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital recently co-hosted a blood drive, held in WCC’s Morris Lawrence building. Due to COVID-19, volunteers took special measures to conduct the blood drive safely.

Donors waited in their cars until their appointment time and had their temperatures taken before getting out. Volunteers and nurses wore masks and gloves, surfaces were sanitized between each donor, and tables and chairs remained six feet apart from each other.
