Procedures Will Change for May 14 Blood Drive

The May 14 Blood Drive will take place 1 to 7 pm at the Community Blood Center bus in the parking lot of Washington Twp. Fire Department Headquarters, 8320 McEwen Rd.

The time allotted is longer than usual so that blood center staff can take extra precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Measures include following social distancing protocol and aseptic technique such as cleaning every step of the way and using proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Most blood drives have taken place on buses this spring, so staff is well prepared to take donations in this way.

The May blood drive is the third of six drives in 2020. Click on the date to see the flier containing more information:
