LifeSouth Needs Your Help--Please Donate Blood Today

Atlanta's Jazz Station 91.9 WCLK supports LifeSouth Community Blood Centers. LifeSouth would like to thank those blood donors who have donated to help the community blood supply and the emergency need for blood; however, the need for all blood types continues as there still are local and national blood shortages.

LifeSouth and LifeSouth blood donors help patients at our local hospitals such as Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta Medical Center, North Fulton Regional Hospital, Spalding Medical Center, and Sylvan Grove Hospital. This summer’s drop in donations has caused the blood supply to dip below a two day supply. It is important to maintain over a two day supply to make sure blood is available when needed for victims of accidents, those having surgery or patients being treated for cancers and other illnesses.

Donors are invited to stop by a LifeSouth location or blood drive. It is a great time to become a blood donor, or for regular blood donors to donate and bring a friend.

All donors receive a thank you gift, and a mini-physical, including blood pressure, temperature, iron level and cholesterol screen.

Donors must be at least 17 or 16 with parental permission, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good health. A photo ID is needed. LifeSouth donor centers are listed below. LifeSouth’s bloodmobiles will also be out at many locations in coming days (see attachment for schedule of upcoming blood drives). For additional information about donation or to find a blood drive near you, call LifeSouth toll-free at 888-795-2707 or visit www.lifesouth.org.
