Appointments are available for the campus-wide blood drive Wednesday, March 30, at multiple locations on the Danforth, Medical and West campuses.
All faculty, staff and students are encouraged to donate blood. Anyone who donated blood on or before Feb. 2 is eligible to donate again March 30.
The American Red Cross Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region annually distributes more than 500,000 blood products to patients in need. To do that, about 1,200 donations of whole blood is needed every day in order to meet the needs of patients. Each donation can help save as many as three lives.
Signing up for an appointment is strongly encouraged and speeds up the donation process.
