Be a Lifesaver
Thank You for Saving Lives!
Every year, more than 4.5 million lives are saved in the United States with donated blood. In our lifetime, and 8 out of 10 of us will require blood or blood products. Donated blood is used for traumas, surgeries, burns, cancer, and other illnesses. In our region alone, more than 500 blood donors a week are needed to help approximately 1,500 patients.
The team at Siouxland Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery was proud to partner this year with the Sioux Falls Community Blood Bank again for our third annual blood drive. A huge thank you goes out to all of our donors, whose donations will help save nearly 100 lives in our community.
Thank you for your life-saving and priceless gift, and we look forward to hosting more life-changing events in the future.

Is it safe to donate?
Yes! Blood donation is a part of essential medical services. All Community Blood Bank staff members are screened daily and wear face masks at all times. Volunteer blood donors are also screened at the registration table with temperature checks and questions pertaining to COVID-19 exposure. Hand sanitizer is available at the registration table and throughout the donation process. Staff members constantly sanitize donation beds and common areas between donations. We also encourage donors to wear a personal mask throughout their donation.
