URGENT UPDATE: Sanford Worthington Medical Center is set to host a vital community blood drive on November 6, 2023, running from 8 AM to 11:30 AM and 1 PM to 4:30 PM. This is a crucial opportunity for residents to make a life-saving impact in their community.
As blood donations are critically needed, community members are encouraged to schedule their donation appointments immediately. Donors can book a time by visiting cbblifeblood.org, selecting “Donate Blood,” then “Blood Drive Calendar,” and navigating to November 6. Alternatively, appointments can be made by calling the Community Blood Bank at (605) 331-3222.
Each blood donation is not just a gift; it can save up to three lives. Donors will receive a $20 Hy-Vee gift card as a token of appreciation for their generosity. The act of donating takes approximately 30 minutes, yet the impact can last a lifetime.
To participate, individuals must be generally healthy, at least 16 years old (with parental consent), and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds. It is essential to bring a photo ID when coming to donate.
This blood drive is particularly important as the Community Blood Bank is the sole blood provider for Sanford Worthington Medical Center. Every donation stays local, directly helping patients in need right in the Worthington area.
WHAT’S NEXT: Community members are urged to spread the word and encourage friends and family to join in this critical effort. Every drop counts, and together, we can ensure that those in need receive the care and support they deserve.
For more information on eligibility requirements or to schedule an appointment, please visit cbblifeblood.org. Don’t miss this chance to make a difference—mark your calendars and prepare to donate on November 6!
