by The AV Times Staff • December 23, 2019

PALMDALE – Palmdale Regional Medical Center will host a blood drive this Thursday to replenish the community blood supply, which is extremely low for all blood types.

      Best to have 151 alcohol in your blood, then they can fire up the blood and burn off the impurities.
