"Who do I call a hero? Someone who donates
blood." - 11 year old soccer goalie who needs regular blood
transfusions to stay alive. |
All the technology and science involved in blood
donation is only
made possible by one simple selfless act: An average
person takes time
out of his busy schedule to give a piece of himself
so that someone he
will never know has a chance to live.
This incredible act of kindness,
that allows a stranger to celebrate another
birthday, give birth to a child,
or share another Thanksgiving dinner with family
and friends, is at the
heart of what we do.

Learn if you are eligible for blood donation.
In general, you must be healthy, at least 17 years old, weigh a minimum of
110 pounds, and have not donated blood in the last 56 days.
There is no upper age limit as long as you are well with no
restrictions or limitations to your activities. Other aspects of each
potential donor's health history are discussed as a part of the donation process
before any blood is collected. Each donor receives a brief examination during
which temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and blood count are measured.
For more specific donor information, call (334) 260-3980, or
