Donating blood is safe and easy. You must be at least 17 years old and in good health. You must weigh at least 110 pounds, eat a good meal within four hours of donating and bring identification to donate. For further information regarding medicines, immunizations or other medical questions pertaining to blood donation, call Hoxworth’s Donor Services at (513) 558-1304.
Thank you to all who volunteered and donated as part of the Fall 2007 Blood Drive! With your help, Hoxworth was able to see 662 donors and collect 595 units of blood. This was the best week-long blood drive that UC has ever had. With the total number of units collected Hoxworth was able to provide around 1500 products to patients in our community.
Everyone involved in this drive should feel a great sense of pride in this achievement. Let's continue this and strive for an even greater outcome in future drives! Give Blood - The Gift of Life
Every three seconds, someone needs blood. Each day, patients across the country receive approximately 34,000 units of this vital resource; and everyday, UC Hoxworth Blood Center needs to collect 350 units of blood to support the needs of patients in the Greater Cincinnati area. This year alone, as many as four million patients will require blood transfusions as accident victims, people undergoing surgery, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer and other diseases. We often overlook our dependence on donated blood.
Patients are counting on YOU to help us recover from our shortages and replenish the blood supply for this Fall. We also hope that you will encourage your friends and peers from classes and student organizations to make the decision to become lifesavers by donating blood.
