Blood Drive Nov 10th
/
$15 E-Gift Card for all donors!
Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 in our communities, we are facing an immediate need for blood donations. Many blood drives have had to canceled, which has led to a dramatic drop in blood donations in recent weeks. In our efforts to keep the shelves filled with blood at our hospitals, Versiti Blood Center will be sending all donors a $15 e-gift card as a token of appreciation in helping us save lives in our community.
Who benefits from blood donation?
At Versiti Blood Center of Illinois, formerly
Heartland Blood Centers, we never forget the patients who receive the blood we collect.
Every unit of blood is collected from volunteer donors who meet specific criteria and have been screened according to strict guidelines. Every unit (pint) is collected, transported,
tested and stored according to tightly-controlled procedures.
Examples of transfusion needs are:
Cancer: up to 8 units/month
Bone Marrow Transplant: up to 2 units/day
Liver Transplant: up to 100 units
Auto Accident: up to 50 units

FREE ANTIBODY TEST for every donation
