Blood Drive @ Westfield Hospital

Community Blood Bank to Host "Starve a Vampire, Give Blood" Drive in Westfield, NY
Erie, PA – The Community Blood Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania & Western New York is embracing the spooky season with themed blood drives designed to combat the ongoing blood shortage. The "Starve a Vampire, Give Blood" campaign will run throughout the month of October, encouraging community members to be heroes this Halloween season.
The Community Blood Bank is the sole provider of blood to all local hospitals, and every donation is vital to ensuring a stable supply for patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, and trauma care. The Community Blood Bank urges all eligible individuals to consider donating and help save lives at the following blood drive:
Westfield Memorial Hospital
Friday 10/10 from 12:30-3:30pm
The blood donation process is a simple three-step procedure that generally takes about an hour from start to finish. It begins with registration and a private health screening to confirm your eligibility, which includes a mini-physical. The actual donation takes about 8-10 minutes, and is then followed by a brief rest period with refreshments to ensure you feel well before you leave.
CALL (814) 456-4206 TO SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT TO DONATE.
Appointments are encouraged to reduce your wait time but are not required.
Walk-ins will be taken as space allows.

Community Blood Bank partners with hospitals in Northwest Pennsylvania and Western New York to provide blood for patients in need. If you are at least 17 years of age, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and are in good general health, you may be eligible to donate blood. You must have a valid photo ID to donate. Prior to donating, those giving blood should eat a good, solid meal and drink at least 18 oz. of water. To learn more or to find a blood drive near you, visit www.fourhearts.org or call 877-842-0631.
