<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you all had the chance to settle into the new semester. I am here to announce this semester’s blood drives! We are once again working with Vitalant to help provide the Pittsburgh Area with blood donations, which have been severely
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Vitalant is following all CDC and PA State protocols for donations, which include wearing a mask, having temperature taken, and social distancing at least 6 feet. Below is a message from Dale Ellgass, a Vitalant representative,
detailing how PittPharmacy students can participate and make a great impact on our community:
