HOW CAN I HELP
MY LOVED ONE?
DID YOU KNOW ...
n Each month our patients require over n 3,000 blood components.
n If your blood type is compatible with
the patient, your donation can be given directly to your loved one. If your type
does not match, your blood will help n replace the blood your loved one used.
In most circumstances, platelet donations do not need to be the same blood type. Therefore, most friends and family can give directly to their loved one.
It takes about an hour to donate blood and about two hours to donate platelets.
You can schedule an appointment online at www.iDonateBlood4Hope.org.
