Maintaining a viable blood supply is among the most essential elements of the nation's health care system.

In addition to the work done by the Red Cross, a regional non-profit called The Blood Connection recently began operations in Virginia, serving Carilion and Sovah hospitals.

Abby Steketee wrote about how blood is collected and distributed on Cardinal News. She talked about it with Fred Echols.
