• Your one donation can save up to three lives!
• One out of ten hospital patients needs blood.
  No viable substitute for blood has ever been found.
• Blood centers often run short of type O blood.

• Although 37% of the U.S. population is eligible to give blood, only 10% do.

Whole blood donations are the most common way of saving lives.

Each whole blood unit can generate up to four components: red cells, platelets, plasma and white cells. All whole donors must meet all regular donor criteria. The donation procedure is quite simple, and generally only takes 30 to 45 minutes. You may donate whole blood every 56 days. Bloodmobiles travel throughout the south Florida region to schools, businesses, religious organizations, and civic groups. You may also donate at one of our 15 convenient donor centers.
