DOVER — Dover City Councilman Brian E. Lewis presented Blood Bank of Delmarva officials a Certificate of Recognition “in honor of their unwavering commitment to saving lives and fostering a spirit of community service for over 70 years.”
Councilman Lewis also presented a Certificate of Recognition to Blood Bank of Delmarva Communications Specialist Tony Prado for “his dedication, time, and effort in coordinating and promoting blood drives throughout the State of Delaware.”
Blood Bank of Delmarva Executive Director of Blood Operations Steven Corse said it’s been a difficult January collecting blood in the face of snowstorms, artic, frigid weather, and seasonal illnesses such as cold and flu and led to blood drive cancellations and missed appointments, illustrating the need for the abstraction known as National Blood Donor Month.
