MC EMS Community Blood Drive
December 22, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Oklahoma Blood Institute and Depew High School will hold community blood drive at Arrowhead Mall on Saturday, December 22nd donors are asked to give blood from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Join Muskogee County EMS to help save lives by giving blood. Each blood donor will receive a free, long-sleeved holiday-themed t-shirt & a free Fandango Movie Voucher as a thank you.
“The simple, yet selfless, act of donating blood this holiday season will give patients in local hospitals a chance to spend precious time with their families,” said John Armitage, M.D., president and CEO of Oklahoma Blood Institute. “The cost- just an hour of your time- is certainly less than other gifts most of us will give this season. But there’s nothing that has a greater impact.”
Every two seconds, someone needs blood, and the supply must be constantly renewed. As the nation’s 6th largest non-profit blood collector, Oklahoma Blood Institute’s donors provide every drop of blood needed for patients in more than 160 hospitals in Oklahoma.
It takes nearly 1,200 donors a day to meet those needs. Appointments to give blood are not required but can be made by calling Oklahoma Blood Institute at 877-340-8777 or visiting obi.org.
