MASH Blood Drive Set For Next Month

pl.wikipedia.org

The next MASH-style blood donation is coming to Rhinelander in early July.

Each year the Community Blood Center hosts  summertime blood drives featuring a theme of a mobile army hospital.

Jerry Shidell helps coordinate the Rhinelander event....

"...there's a big irony going on here...it's vacation time and people are out doing things and unfortunately, they get hurt. But because, ironically, they are out doing things, they don't donate blood, so supply is down. Double-whammy. Demand is up, supply is down...."

This is the sixth year for the drive. Workers dressed in military gear, under a MASH tent, take the blood.

The drive is held July 7 at Pioneer Park in Rhinelander until 5 p.m that day.
