North Richland Hills – In partnership with the American Red Cross, Medical City North Hills is hosting a September blood drive with an extra focus on overcoming the current emergency blood shortage. In July, the American Red Cross reported a decrease in the national blood supply of more than 25 percent.

Details:

4375 Booth Calloway Road
Medical Office Building, Suite 202
North Richland Hills, TX 76180

Thursday, Sept. 19, from 11:00am - 5:00pm

Community members may sign up online to donate or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.

“The national blood shortage has reached a critical level,” Medical City North Hills Chief Nursing Officer Kevin Inderhees, MHA, MSN, RN, NEA-BC says. “The American Red Cross often sees a decline in blood donors during the summer, but the extreme heat we’ve experienced has exacerbated the challenge.”

Each unit of blood donated can help save up to three lives.

Blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good general health, feeling well. People who present to give blood should eat a nourishing meal before donating and must bring a photo ID.
