(Those 76 and over can donate with a doctor’s note.)
You must weigh at least 110 lbs. and meet other
requirements. Most medications will not keep you
from donating. People with diabetes and blood
pressure controlled by medication can donate. Please
eat before you come and bring ID and proof of age.
Help us keep the blood supply at a healthy level. Bad
weather can cause cancellations of blood drives and
keep donors away--but patients’ needs remain the
same. For an appointment call 800-933-2566 or

Walk-ins welcome! Appointments will get priority. _____________________________________________________
