Brighten the lives of patients and their families this holiday season by giving blood. Donate at any OneBlood Donor Center Tuesday, Dec. 20, through Saturday, Dec. 31, 2016 and receive special gifts, along with a wellness check-up of blood pressure, pulse, temperature and iron count, including a cholesterol screening!
Generally healthy people age 16 or older who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate blood. Photo ID is required. To learn more about the importance of blood donation and how donors can target the power of their blood type, visit oneblood.org.
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion. Blood that is donated today will likely be transfused into a patient within two to three days. The turn-around is that fast, the need is constant.
