April is "DONATE LIFE" month at Mississippi Blood Services. Each donor will be given a lipid profile voucher. The lipid profile is a group of tests that are often ordered together to determine risk of coronary heart disease. The tests that make up a lipid profile are tests that have been shown to be good indicators of whether someone is likely to have a heart attack or stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels (hardening of the arteries).  

On April 17th we will celebrate Donate Life Day with commemorative t-shirts. US96 and Y101 will be out live at the Jackson Main Center off of Lakeland with special door prizes.

From April 18th through May 1st Mississippi Blood and Rock 93.9 will team up to find a VIP donor. All who come in during those two weeks will be entered into a drawing to be a VIP to Rock 93.9's annual "CRAWFISH BOIL". The winner will get back stage passes to meet and greet some of the country's hottest bands plus a one night hotel stay near the Coliseum where the event will be held. Rock 93.9 will be live at Mississippi Blood Services on May 1st with other cool "rock" relate door prizes throughout the day.

This is just the beginning of some awesome promotions scheduled at Mississippi Blood Services as we continue to say thank you to our donors throughout the year.

Mississippi Blood Services held ribbon cutting ceremony for its new donor coach on Wednesday Sept. 12.  The new donor coach was funded by a grant awarded by USDA, Rural Development.
The previous Oxford coach, a revamped Winnebago donated from another non-profit organization, was only able to screen two donors at a time and have two donors in the collection area of the bed unit.  The new coach, custom made for MBS provides more space to screen three to four donors at a time and collect blood from five donors.
Lolita Gregory, manager of the Oxford branch of MBS says, “Having the new donor coach here in Oxford means we can better service our blood donors in the community and more importantly, save lives through our efforts.”
