18-year old student, Megan Hunt, of West Rusk High School, was recently awarded a free Chevy Trax, courtesy of The Thompson Group Classic Chevrolet Fleet and Commercial. By donating blood during a critical shortage at a recent Carter BloodCare blood drive at her school, she was automatically entered to win.

While hospitals continue to order convalescent plasma (CCP) for local COVID-19 patients, Carter BloodCare has shown a downward data trend for orders, providing perspective on current patient needs in the North, Central and east Texas regions.

Carter BloodCare stresses that it is safe to give blood and CCP, even in the midst of a pandemic.
