LifeStream Adjusts Donor Center Hours
LifeStream has made changes to its Donor Center hours, beginning on Sunday November 4th.
REDLANDS-LOMA LINDA, CA - From LifeStream: Coinciding with the end of Daylight Saving Time, LifeStream blood bank is adjusting operating hours at five of its six fixed-site centers.
All changes take effect Sunday, Nov. 4.
Hours will be adjusted in response to donor surveys that asked donors for preferred days and hours of operation. Surveys from each respective location were examined separately; the objective being to make it more convenient for more potential blood donors near each center to give the gift of life.
