Hoxworth donor buses will parked in front of TUC each day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Additional blood drives will be held at UC Clermont on Wednesday, April 13 and the UC Medical Campus on Friday, April 15.    

“The UC blood drives have become one of our most successful blood drives that we hold,” said Jackie Marschall, spokesperson for Hoxworth. “It’s so exciting to see such a diverse group of students, faculty, staff and others come together for a cause that affects individuals right here in our Cincinnati community.” 

Marschall added that as the only provider of blood products in the Tri-State, Hoxworth needs to collect 400 units of blood and 50 units of platelets a day to fulfill the needs of patients in local hospitals.
