On April 3, HOSA will be partnering with Impact Life for FHN’S annual blood drive. The blood drive will take place in the small gym. Students and staff alike are encouraged to donate; however, those under 16 are unable to donate. If a student is 16 they must have a parent signed consent form. Christopher Dalton is the FHN coordinator for the blood drive and sponsor of the HOSA program.

“Blood is something that is always in need, there’s always going to be surgeries or other processes that require large amounts of blood,” Dalton said. “You need to have a continuous cycle of blood coming in, because it’s not something that can be stored for very long.”
