RMH, in conjunction with Virginia Blood Services, will host a public blood drive Feb. 18 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. in Conference Rooms 2-3 on the Lower Level of the hospital.
Guests may park in Lot A and enter through the main hospital entrance. Each donor will receive a free T-shirt.
“During American Heart Month in February, we encourage the community to ‘have a heart’ for others and donate the live-saving gift of blood,” said Terry Atwater of Virginia Blood Services. “One blood donation can save up to three lives.”
Through the RMH Blood Center, Virginia Blood Services supplies virtually all the blood products used by patients at RMH, including those undergoing chemotherapy.
To be considered eligible to donate, you must be over 17 (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health with no serious illnesses and have not donated blood within the last eight weeks.
Walk-ins are welcome. Call RMH Healthsource at 433-4580 to register for a specific time.
