🩸 Community Blood Drive at VBCH Therapy & Performance Center 🩸

Van Buren County Hospital is proud to host a community Blood Drive on March 10th from 2:30 – 5:45 PM at our Therapy & Performance Center.

Donating blood is a simple way to make a life-saving difference. Just one donation can help multiple patients in need — from trauma victims to surgery patients and those battling illness.

We encourage community members, staff, and families to consider rolling up their sleeves and giving the gift of life. ❤️

📍 Location: VBCH Therapy & Performance Center
📅 Date: March 10
⏰ Time: 2:30 – 5:45 PM

Appointments are encouraged, sign up by clicking on this link:(https://login.bloodcenter.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/1411960 or by scanning the QR code on the flyer. Help us support our patients and neighbors by donating if you’re able!

❤️ As American Heart Month Comes to a Close… Let’s Keep Heart Health a Priority All Year Long! ❤️

February may be wrapping up, but caring for your heart should never take a break. During American Heart Month, we’ve focused on raising awareness about cardiovascular health — and now is the perfect time to take action.

Routine check-ups are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your heart. Regular visits with your provider help monitor:
✔️ Blood pressure
✔️ Cholesterol levels
✔️ Blood sugar
✔️ Weight and lifestyle risk factors

Many heart conditions develop quietly, without obvious symptoms. Preventive care allows us to catch concerns early — when they’re most treatable.

At Van Buren County Hospital, we’re here to support your heart health every step of the way. If it’s been a while since your last check-up, now is a great time to schedule your annual exam. Give us a call at 319-293-8732 we are happy to help you out!

Your heart works hard for you every day. Make sure you’re taking care of it, too. 💓

We’re excited to share that a new Blessing Box is now available at Van Buren County Hospital (Community Services Center) 💙

This community pantry is here for anyone who may need a little extra support — stocked with non-perishable food items and basic necessities. The idea is simple:
Take what you need. Leave what you can.

At VBCH, caring for our community goes beyond clinic walls. The Blessing Box is one more way we’re living out our commitment to providing quality care close to home — in every sense of the word.

If you’d like to donate items, we welcome contributions of canned goods, hygiene products, and other shelf-stable essentials. Together, we can make sure no neighbor goes without. 💛

A BIG Thank you to the Van Buren County Community School District Construction classes for the creation of the box for us! .

The box is located in the Community Services Center Parking lot (308 Mulberry St. in Keosauqua, IA) if you have questions, you may call 319-293-8728.
