Carol Moss Read- President of Oservs Board:
"We are confident that nearly every member of the OSERVS Board has known a friend, family member, or loved one who has needed a blood transfusion. For that reason, blood donation is a deeply personal cause for us. That is why OSERVS is committed to being on the front lines of encouraging our friends, neighbors, and community members to give the gift of life through blood donation. We are keenly aware of the critical shortage of blood across Mississippi and the urgent need to maintain an adequate blood supply for those who depend on it.
We encourage everyone to join us on September 9 for the Third Annual First Responders Blood Drive Challenge. Your donation could make the difference for someone in our community when they need it most. Please join us, roll up your sleeve, and help save a life!"

Happy National Aviation Day to the amazing and talented team members at Airbus Helicopters in Columbus MS. Thank you for rolling up your sleeves today and giving the gift of life with Vitalant!!

✈️ Happy National Aviation Day! ✈️

Today, August 19, 2026, we celebrate the incredible world of aviation and the innovation, dedication, and passion that keep us connected across the skies. 🌎

From the earliest dreams of flight to today’s modern aircraft, aviation has transformed the way we travel, explore, and connect with one another.

A special appreciation goes to the pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, ground crews, cabin crews, mechanics, and everyone working behind the scenes to keep aviation moving. ✈️

Here’s to the spirit of flight and the people who make it possible!

“In emergency management, we prepare for the moments no family ever wants to face. Our first responders run toward those moments every day when someone is injured, a life is in danger, and every second matters. But even the best-trained first responder cannot replace the blood a patient desperately needs. The blood has to be there.

That is why Oservs is proud to host the First Responders Blood Drive alongside the Starkville Police Department Starkville Fire Department OKTIBBEHA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT East Oktibbeha Volunteer Fire Department Central Oktibbeha Fire Department Mississippi Highway Patrol Troop G
Pafford Emergency Medical Services MedStat Emergency Medical Services

These are the men and women who answer the call when our community needs them most. This blood drive gives all of us an opportunity to answer the call with them.

Every person who rolls up a sleeve could be the reason someone gets another chance at life and another day with their family. We may never know whose life our blood saves, but when that critical moment comes, I want our community to be able to say: we were ready, we stood together, we showed up, and we gave someone a fighting chance to live." - Jarvis Boyd- Director of the Oktibbeha Emergency Management Agency
