Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Holds September 2022 Community Blood Drives
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.
Appointments
are encouraged and will receive priority. To make an appointment, please call
717-544-0170, or schedule online at LGhealth.org/giveblood
(local Blood Drive Events tab). Donors
will receive a free gift.
