There is always a critical need for blood donors during the summer
season.
Hoxworth is encouraging people to take some time out of their busy
schedules to donate now to help
maintain a safe and
plentiful supply of blood for our community.
Hoxworth Blood Center at the University of Cincinnati Academic Health
Center needs to collect from 350 volunteer blood donors and 40 volunteer
platelet donors each day to keep up with the demands of tri-state
hospitals and their patients. Hoxworth, founded in 1938, serves 27
hospitals in 17 counties in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and
Southeastern Indiana. Annually, Hoxworth collects over 90,000 units of
blood from local volunteer donors.Donating blood and is safe and easy, and is a great way to give back to your community. Each donation takes about one hour and could save up to three lives. The requirements to give blood are: •Age: At least 17 years old and in good general health. There is no upper age limit. •Weight: Minimum of 110 pounds. •Identification: Must provide photo I.D. •Food: Eat a good meal within four hours before giving. •Drink: Drink plenty of water or juice before and after donating. #### comments@hoxworth.org
