The available supply of all blood types has fallen well below levels considered safe for prompt and appropriate patient services. If the situation persist, there may be a need to postpone or cancel elective surgeries and medical procedures on short notice. In an effort to increase the blood supply, everyone is encouraged to donate blood. Free tokens are provided for the public parking garage, Market and Sixth streets. Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good health.
Proper identification is required.
