Every two seconds, someone needs a blood transfusion. On Wednesday, July 13, everyone on our One Amazing Team will have an opportunity to be a hero by helping to support the need for blood in health care operations across our community. Wednesday’s Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center (GCRBC) drive will be in the Feigin Tower, first-floor conference center. Donors should make an appointment by registering here. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability in the schedule, although appointments are preferred.
Each day the Blood Center must collect 1,000 units to meet the needs of patients in 170 hospitals in their service area. As one of the Blood Center’s largest hospital clients, our team’s Commit for Life donations will make a difference for our patient’s lives. As a “thank you” for helping to save lives, donors will receive a GCRBC ¼ zip pullover shirt (see shirt here), and all successful donors will be entered into a July drawing for a chance to win one of two $500 gas gift cards.
Based on CDC guidance, the Blood Center has several safety measures in place to protect donors from COVID, including increased sanitization and placing donor beds six feet apart to maintain social distancing.
For questions or assistance, contact Christina Gligorova with GCRBC at 832-602-9350.
