Make an impact with blood, platelets in short supply

The need for blood donations is crucial. 

To help, the American Red Cross is conducting two blood drives later this month in the Towsley Lobby.

• Wednesday, Jan. 4: 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.
• Friday, Jan. 13: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

There is also a critical need for platelet donations. Should supply remain low, the availability of platelets for patient care may be impacted. Please consider a platelet donation to the Red Cross. 

To schedule an appointment, log onto RedCrossBlood.org (sponsor code: goblue), call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or email Erin Burns at erin.burns2@redcross.org. Appointments highly recommended. Please bring a photo ID.

Streamline your donation experience and save up to 15 minutes by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass to complete your pre-donation reading and health history questions on the day of your appointment.
