Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health
Holds June 2022 Community Blood Drives
LANCASTER, PA – The Penn Medicine
Lancaster General Health Blood Donor Center encourages people to donate blood
and platelets as often as possible. Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health
sponsors community blood drives every week throughout Lancaster County, as well
as at the Blood Donor Center at the Suburban Pavilion. Blood that is
collected stays in Lancaster County to benefit members of our community.
The
United States is currently experiencing a shortage of blood supplies. Penn
Medicine Lancaster General Health encourages all eligible donors to make a
donation at either our blood donor center or one of our community blood drives.
Blood donation is safe, including for those who have received a Covid-19
vaccination.
Blood donors must be in good health (free of
flu, cold and nausea symptoms for at least three days), 16 years of age (with
parental consent) to 74 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, be well
hydrated, eat a substantial meal within four hours before donating, and bring a
form of ID.
All blood donors must
schedule an appointment to come to the blood drives by calling 717-544-0177,
or schedule online at LGhealth.org/giveblood
(local Blood Drive Events tab). Donors
will receive a free gift.
