January 12, 2024 - National Blood Donor Month
January is National Blood Donor Month!
Join us in celebrating and raising awareness for the incredible impact blood donors have on saving lives.
#GiveBlood #NationalBloodDonorMonth
Only 3% of eligible Americans currently donate blood, despite 65% of the population being eligible to do so. Additionally, less than 20% of blood donations come from individuals in communities of color, and donations from individuals aged 19-24 have declined by nearly 32% from 2019 to 2021.
To celebrate National Blood Donor Month, the Public Health Division, in partnership with the American Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, from 1pm – 6pm in our Community Health Resource Room (rm:103).
If you or anyone you know is interested in donating blood, please use the link below to schedule an appointment or scan the QR code on the attached flyers. Due to limited capacity, scheduling an appointment is recommended.
