Red Cross Blood Drive
May 14th @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Red Cross blood drive hosted by the HMS Departments of Genetics, Immunology, and Microbiology.
Why we donate: The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
Good to know: On August 7th, the AmericanĀ Red CrossĀ implemented theĀ U.S. FoodĀ and Drug AdministrationāsĀ new blood donation eligibility guidance regarding an individual donor assessmentĀ for all donors regardless of gender or sexual orientation. More information is available at the Red Crossās Eligibility FAQs page and LGBTQ+ Donors page.
