Medical City Healthcare facilities in Dallas-Fort Worth will host nearly 30 blood drives May through July to help address seasonal shortages and prepare for the FIFA World Cup, according to an April 28 news release.

The details: In partnership with the American Red Cross North Texas Region and Carter BloodCare, Medical City Healthcare will hold drives at hospitals across the region.

Summer months typically bring a decline in blood donations due to vacations and school closures while trauma cases often increase around holidays and large events, according to the release. Officials said demand may rise further this year as North Texas prepares to host the World Cup from June 11-July 19.

“That support is especially critical this summer as we anticipate an influx of visitors and soccer fans and know blood supplies are often strained during the summer months,” said Linda Braddy, CEO of the American Red Cross North Texas Region.

Camp Mystic, the Texas Hill Country camp where 28 people died in catastrophic flooding last July, announced April 30 that it will not welcome campers this summer.

The background: The decision comes nearly 10 months after 25 young campers, two teenage counselors and the camp’s executive director, Dick Eastland, died as the Guadalupe River camp flooded July 4. Camp Mystic’s owners had planned to open a secondary campsite called Cypress Lake in late May, but backed down at the urging of flood victims’ families and state lawmakers.

What's happening: A spokesperson for the Department of State Health Services, which licenses youth camps, confirmed to Community Impact that Camp Mystic had withdrawn its application to operate in summer 2026. 

In a statement, Camp Mystic officials said they did not want to “unintentionally effect further harm” on flood victims and their families.

"We also recognize that over 800 girls want to return to Camp Mystic Cypress Lake this summer," they wrote. "Our special bond with our Camp Mystic families does not change or end with the announcement."
