Give blood, get gift cards

By Lightning Reports, Published: January 20, 2022

The start of the new year has a critical call going out for blood donations.

AdventHealth Hendersonville invites donors to help meet this critical need at its upcoming blood drive on Wednesday, January 26, 2022. The Blood Connection recently announced that critically low blood supplies are affecting local hospital orders. While the supply situation has not impacted AdventHealth’s ability to meet the need of our patients at this point, it wants to provide a convenient option for the community to help increase the blood supply for our community.

One hour of your time is all it takes to provide this vital resource for family, friends and neighbors in need of blood products as they battle cancer, face surgeries or experience emergencies. To help make it easy for the public to donate, AdventHealth and The Blood Connection are following all safety protocols including requiring face coverings and social distancing. TBC will screen all donors for Covid-19 antibodies after every completed donation.

The blood drive is scheduled for 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 26, at AdventHealth, 100 Hospital Drive, Hendersonville. Look for The Blood Connection Mobile Donor Unit in the parking lot. All donors will receive a $20 e-gift card along with a bonus $25 e-gift card. To make an appointment, please scan the QR Code and search for the Sponsor Code 23AC.
