Your single donation can help several patients. Giving blood is simple and easy. The actual blood donation takes less than 10 minutes and is painless except for a little hurt at the very start. The entire process, from when you sign in to the time you leave, takes about 45 minutes. There is no substitute for human blood.
People are the only source of blood.
Much of today's medical care depends on a steady supply of blood provided by healthy donors. The gift of blood is the gift of life. It is very important to complete the blood donor forms honestly. People who should not donate need to identified before the blood is taken. All information given by the donor is treated confidentially.
