National Awareness Month

January is National Volunteer Blood Donor Month

First-time and regular donors are encouraged to make a difference to their communities by scheduling an appointment to give blood this month.
Donating blood is safe, it’s simple, and it saves lives. Most donors find it a painless and heart-warming experience. A brief interview is the first step. You’ll be asked about your medical history and current health. Next, your temperature, blood pressure, pulse and blood hemoglobin level are checked. Many donors consider this mini-physical an added bonus! You will probably meet the medical requirements to donate blood if you are in good health, at least 16 years old (there is no upper age limit) and weigh at least 110 pounds.
