LOCAL Closer Look: Vitalant Provides Blood in Montana

Posted on Saturday, May 8, 2021 by Dan Beck

There's no substitute for blood and the help it provides people. Vitalant Blood Services is a major provider of blood supplies and services in Montana, but they need volunteers to donate the hundreds of pints each day that is needed to adequately serve Montana's needs. Dan Beck talks with their Communications Managers about the current needs changing ways to hold a blood drive, and new regulations to help keep everyone safe. She also shares a very personal story about the ongoing need for blood transfusions and products some people in the community need.
