HOSA students from Riverton High School recently hosted and ran a successful blood drive, with all donations going to ARUP Blood Services. The drive gives students real-world experience in the healthcare career field and provides 105 units of life-saving blood. Students’ hard work will significantly impact patients lives during a nationwide blood shortage.
So far this school year, student-run blood drives across Jordan School District have collected 705 units of blood that have been turned into 2100 blood products, which helped hundreds of patients at Huntsman Cancer Institute and University of Utah Hospitals.
Thank you to students and staff who have helped give life-saving blood to those in our communities who need it most.
