On Friday, Boone County conducted its annual spring blood drive in honor of John Patton, a former County Counselor. Blood donations are essential for emergencies and for individuals with conditions such as cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell anemia, and other illnesses. Regular blood transfusions are a necessity for some people to survive. For nearly 5 million recipients of blood transfusions each year, donations can be crucial.
