Community members are being urged to schedule blood donation appointments to ensure an adequate blood supply during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is critically important that healthy individuals continue to donate to minimize disruptions to the blood supply and ensure blood is available.

They are taking extra steps during our blood drives to ensure safety by:

  • Pre-screening donors before entering the blood drive.
  • Temperatures will be taken and anyone with 99.5 or over will be deferred.
  • Beds are spaced 6 feet apart and there is extensive cleaning of all equipment after use.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HELP WITH THE FLOW OF THE BLOOD DRIVE.
