DID YOU KNOW?
- Blood donation is a simple four-step process: registration, medical history and mini-physical, donation and refreshments.
- The actual blood donation typically takes less than 10-12 minutes. The entire process, from the time you arrive to the time you leave, takes about an hour.
- Although an estimated 38% of the US population is eligible to donate, less than 10% actually do each year. This is why shortages occur.
- Red blood cells (the most commonly transfused component) last only 42 days.
- The average red blood cell transfusion is approximately three pints.
For specific questions regarding your blood drive, please contact your Account Representative, Lawrence Smith, directly at LSMITH@HEARTLANDBC.ORG.
