A local oral surgery practice is hosting a community blood drive. Hill & Ioppolo Oral Surgery & Dental Implants has partnered with Vitalant to support the local blood supply for nearly a decade. The event aims to collect blood donations to help meet the local need.

The practice has set a goal for the number of units to be collected. Donations can have a significant impact, with each one potentially helping multiple people. A particular need exists for certain blood types, especially during the summer months.

Further details about the event, including how to participate, are available from the practice's website. Residents can register online to donate blood and contribute to the local blood supply.
