The
United States is currently experiencing a dangerous shortage of blood supplies.
Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health encourages all eligible donors to make a
donation at either our blood donor center or one of our community blood drives.
Blood donation is safe, including for those who have received a Covid-19
vaccination.
Blood donors must be in good health (free of
allergy, flu, cold and nausea symptoms for at least three days), 16 years of
age (with parental consent) to 74 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, be
well hydrated, eat a substantial meal within four hours before donating, and
bring a form of ID.
All blood donors must
schedule an appointment to come to the blood drives by calling 717-544-0177,
or schedule online at LGhealth.org/giveblood
(local Blood Drive Events tab). Donors
will receive a free gift.
