Did you
know that at least one out of every ten hospital patients,
or one patient every two seconds, requires a blood transfusion?
Just one unit of donated blood may help save the lives of
several people.
|
Giving your gift
of blood is a relatively simple, yet caring, way to make a difference
in your community. In order to give whole blood, you must:
-
The minimum age to donate is 17 years in Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia and 16 years in Maryland and Pennsylvania, with parental consent. There is no upper age limit.
-
Weigh at least 110 pounds;
- Be
in generally good health.
Normally,
you can safely give blood every 56 days. You can call 1-800-542-5663,
extension 2549, 2552 or 2554 for answers to specific donor
eligibility questions.
Together,
we can save a life.
