SSRH to host blood drive on Jan. 3
12/27/2023
SILOAM SPRINGS – You can make a difference on Jan. 3 during Siloam Springs Regional Hospital’s blood drive from 12-5 p.m. in the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) Bloodmobile at the hospital’s parking lot. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are strongly encouraged to help manage donor flow. To reserve a time, visit https://bit.ly/3tuDEP5.
Do you know why your blood donation makes such a difference? It’s because CBCO is the sole non-profit blood, platelet and plasma provider for all Northwest Health hospitals and more than 40 other hospitals in the Ozarks.
To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health and present a valid photo ID. Before the blood drive, donors are asked to take a few steps to ensure that donations operate smoothly on the day of the drive:
- Drink plenty of water or juice the night and morning before you donate.
- Eat a well-balanced meal around 2-3 hours before giving.
- Bring your photo identification: This is now required for all donors.
For more information, call (417) 227-5006 or visit www.cbco.org/donate-blood.
