Infirmary Health asks community to donate blood as shortage continues

Blood donors are needed as the State of Alabama and the entire nation continue to feel the impact of blood shortages. Last week’s severe storms and tornadoes only escalated the need for more blood donors.

Through Infirmary Health's partner, LifeSouth, donating blood is safe, takes about an hour and can save up to three lives. All blood types are needed. 

All LifeSouth blood donors receive a thank you gift, refreshments and a mini-physical, including cholesterol, iron level, temperature and blood pressure. Find a blood drive or donor center near you at LifeSouth.org. Appointments can also be made online.

How to Donate:
Visit a LifeSouth donor center or bloodmobile. To find a location near you visit LifeSouth.org or call 888-795-2707. Donors must be at least 17 years old, or 16 with parental permission, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good health. A photo I.D. is required.
