Darke County February Blood Drives
Be ‘Donor Strong’ All Winter Long
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Help Community Blood Center keep a strong winter
blood supply by supporting the February blood drives in Darke County.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “Donor Strong”
long-sleeve t-shirt. Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or
call (937) 461-3220.
The long sleeve “Donor Strong” t-shirt is a gift to donors now through
Feb. 29. It’s a reminder to support the regional blood supply
against the challenges of winter weather and seasonal illness.
CBC must increase donations in 2020 to provide blood to more hospitals
outside our traditional 15-county service area. CBC is also seeking
more automated donations of platelets, plasma, and double red blood
cells.
Many CBC community blood drives now include the opportunity to donate
platelets and plasma, which are critical for the treatment of cancer,
trauma, transplant, and burn patients. Donors with blood types A, AB,
or B positive are ideal.
Automated double red blood cell donations are encouraged for type O
donors. Safely donating two units of red cells helps increase the
supply commonly used in surgery and the emergency treatment of trauma
patients. Find out more at www.GivingBlood.org or talk to an
apheresis specialist at (937) 461-3220.
