AdventHealth Hosts Blood Drive to Make Sure Region is Ready for Holiday Travel and Winter Weather Impact on Donations

Nov. 7, 2022; HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. – November brings a chance to make sure we are ready to support the blood needs in our community through the holiday travel and winter weather seasons that impact blood donations. AdventHealth is teaming up with The Blood Connection to make it easy for you to make sure the supply is in place for the people coming to us for care every day.

Every day, we have patients in need of blood products for cancer care, surgeries and in our emergency department. According to The Blood Connection, one in seven people who enter a hospital will need a blood transfusion. Right now, the supply simply doesn’t keep up with demand.

But you can use this early holiday season blood drive to create a new tradition of giving.

Just one hour of your time at the AdventHealth Hendersonville Blood Drive on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, can help save up to three lives.

To help make it easy for the public to donate, AdventHealth and The Blood Connection are following all safety protocols including requiring face coverings and social distancing. TBC will screen all donors for COVID-19 Antibodies after every completed donation.
