The STHS blood drives coincide with a Northshore vs. south shore blood donation challenge pitting local hospitals in a friendly competition to see which side of the lake can generate the most blood donations.
The challenge runs through the end of April and asks donors to declare their geographical allegiance when they donate. The side of the lake that generates the most donations will get a “foodie” prize for the participating hospitals’ lab teams – along with the satisfaction of knowing they’re saving lives by boosting local blood supplies..
In addition to STHS blood drives, another local blood drive will be held as part of the competition on Thursday, April 28, at Covington’s Bogue Falaya Hall (317 N. Jefferson St.) from noon to 5 p.m.
