On April 24th, Orchid Health teamed up with Bloodworks Northwest for a blood drive in McKenzie River. The event was a great success, with 21 donors registering and 18 units of blood collected. We were excited to see 14 first-time donors join us. Kent, one of our donors, won a $40 gas gift card in our raffle.
