(Hyannis, June 30) Cape Cod Hospital and Falmouth Hospital are in urgent need of blood donations. Numerous blood drives are being held across Cape Cod in July to benefit Cape Cod Healthcare (CCHC). Cape Cod and Falmouth hospitals must have at least one week’s worth of blood on hand at all times. Since each unit collected or purchased only lasts 42 days, it is a constant challenge to maintain sufficient supply. All the blood collected at Cape Cod Healthcare blood drives stays on Cape Cod to help our families, friends and neighbors. Donors to CCHC blood drives in July will receive a commemorative T-shirt. Cape Cod Healthcare blood drives are scheduled in the coming weeks, including: July 2024 CCHC Blood Drives • July 1: 9:40 a.m. - 4 p.m., Dennis Police Department, 90 Bob Crowell Road, Dennis • July 2: 9:40 a.m. – 4 p.m., St. Anthony’s Fatima Hall - part of St. Joseph Guardian of the Holy Family Parish, 167 East Falmouth Highway – East Falmouth • July 8: 10:40 a.m. – 5 p.m., Brewster Police Station, 631 Harwich Road, Brewster • July 9: 9:40 a.m. – 4 p.m., Seamen’s Bank, 4355 Route 6, Eastham • July 10: 10:40 a.m. – 5 p.m., Harwich Police Department, 183 Sisson Road, Harwich • July 15: 10:40 a.m. – 5 p.m., Christ the King Church, 3 Jobs Fishing Road, Mashpee • July 16: 9:40 a.m. – 4 p.m., Orleans Police Department, 99 Eldredge Park Way, Orleans • July 17: 10:40 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sandwich Library, 142 Main Street, Sandwich • July 18: 9:40 a.m. – 4 p.m., Cape Cod Hospital, Lorusso Board Room, 27 Park Street, Hyannis • July 23: 8:40 a.m. – 3 p.m., Cotuit Federated Church, 40 School St., Cotuit • July 25: 10:40 a.m. - 5 p.m., Dennis Police Department, 90 Bob Crowell Road, Dennis • July 26: 9:40 a.m. – 4 p.m., Barnstable Police Department, 1200 Phinney’s Lane, Barnstable • July 27: 8:40 a.m. – 3 p.m., Sadie’s Lemonade Stand/Platinum Auto Service, 27 Commercial St., Yarmouth • July 29: 9:40 a.m. - 4 p.m., John Wesley United Methodist Church, 270 Gifford St., Falmouth • July 30: 10:40 a.m. – 5 p.m., Chatham Works, 323 Orleans Road, N.
