HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital Breese issued the following announcement on June 27.
HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Breese and Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center are hosting a blood drive on Thursday, July 11, from noon until 4:30 p.m. in the hospital’s Heritage Room. All presenting donors will receive a $10 voucher to Amazon.com, Casey’s General Store, Dairy Queen or Domino’s.
Healthy individuals may donate blood every eight weeks. To make it easy for donors wanting to make the biggest impact by giving whenever eligible, the Breese hospital will host drives approximately every eight weeks in 2019. A future blood drive is planned for Thursday, September 5. To meet eligibility requirements, your most recent donation should not have been any later than May 16. The hospital’s last drive was May 15, so those who gave are eligible to give again.
Additional giving requirements include weighing at least 110 pounds, and being 17 years of age or older, (or 16 with a signed parental permission form available at www.bloodcenter.org). Please bring a photo ID, eat before arriving, and plan to spend approximately one hour. Appointments are requested, but walk-ins are always welcome. For an appointment, call 866-448-3253 or visit www.bloodcenterimpact.org – sponsor code 10229.
