 RMH, in conjunction with Virginia Blood Services, will host a public blood drive from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 18 in Conference Room 4 on the Lower Level of the hospital.
Donors may park in Lot A and enter through the main hospital entrance.
“During the holidays is a particularly important time for blood donations,” said Terry Atwater of Virginia Blood Services. “More adults and students are on the go during the holidays, so they are not donating blood on a regular schedule. You can help save lives by making a blood donation before you leave for the holidays.”
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.
Please register for a specific time by calling RMH Healthsource at 433-4580. Walk-ins are welcome but will be taken after registered donors.
