It’s National Heart Month. Donate Blood to Save Lives

Did you know that up to three lives can be saved when you donate one pint of blood?

Donating blood is a safe, simple, and satisfying experience. More than four million Americans need a blood transfusion each year; someone needs blood every two seconds. No matter what your blood type, give a pint.

But before you do, be aware of the following:

• Bring a donor card or ID
• Minimum weight for donors is 110 lbs.
• You must not have had a tattoo within the last 12 months
• Eat well and drink plenty of fluids before donating
• If you have questions about your eligibility, call 800-688-0900

For more information or to make an appointment, contact Nancy Smithwick, Health and Wellness Center; 631-420-2136.
