AdventHealth Gordon is hosting a blood drive organized by Blood Assurance from 9 am to 5 pm, Wednesday, Aug. 21. Two Bloodmobiles will be parked in front of Resource Building 3 on AdventHealth Gordon’s campus.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, every two seconds, someone needs a blood transfusion. In health care settings in our community and across the country, donated blood is a potentially life-saving and essential part of caring for patients. One donation can save up to three lives.
To donate, there are some physical health requirements:
· A normal iron level (a low iron level may mean it’s unsafe for you to donate)
· A temperature, blood pressure and pulse within a healthy range
· Weigh 110 pounds or more
· At least 16 years old
To schedule an appointment, visit BloodAssurance.org or call Call800-962-0628. Be sure to eat a good meal, drink additional water and avoid energy drinks before your appointment.
