DES MOINES, IOWA (May 4, 2022) – LifeServe Blood Center and Winner Regional Health are excited to announce their new lifesaving partnership. LifeServe Blood Center, ranked as one of the top 15 blood centers in the country, is now the sole supplier of all blood and blood products to eleven new hospitals across South Dakota including Winner Regional Health.

LifeServe Blood Center provides 100% of all blood products needed to more than 130 hospitals across South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. Since the beginning of the year Winner Regional Health has been receiving blood products needed for patient care from LifeServe Blood Center.

“Winner Regional Health is excited to be working with our new partner, LifeServe Blood Center. This partnership will allow us to continue to put the community first,” said Brady L. Kerkman, Director of Marketing & Philanthropy at Winner Regional Health.

100% of the blood products needed at Winner Regional Health and the surrounding area hospitals now come from LifeServe blood donors. The strength of the community blood supply is dependent on local donors, businesses and organizations that donate and sponsor blood drives with LifeServe Blood Center.

To ensure Winner Regional Health and its patients have the blood products they need, the community is hosting two blood drives in May. LifeServe Blood Center and Winner Regional Health are urging the community to boost the blood supply for local patients at these upcoming blood drives. Your donation will ensure those in your community in need of lifesaving blood products will receive them at a moment’s notice.
