(Hyannis, March 28) Cape Cod Hospital and Falmouth Hospital are in urgent need of blood donations. Numerous blood drives are being held across Cape Cod in April 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 helps our families, friends and neighbors. All donors to CCHC blood drives in April will receive a Cumberland Farms gift card. Cape Cod Healthcare blood drives are scheduled in the coming weeks, including: April 2025 CCHC Blood Drives • April 1: 8:40 a.m. – 3 p.m., Cotuit Federated Church, 40 School St., Cotuit • April 4: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Eastham Library, 190 Samoset St., Eastham • April 8: 10:40 a.m. – 5 p.m., Harwich Police Department, 183 Sisson Road, Harwich • April 9: 9:40 a.m. – 4 p.m., Cape Cod Hospital, Lorusso Board Room, 27 Park St., Hyannis • April 12: 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., Cape Cod Hospital, Nicholas G.
