Blood
Donor
Day First Thursday of Each Month
Posted 26 January
2010
Anyone who lives to
the age of 72 will have a 95% probability of needing blood or blood
products at sometime in their life, so blood donors are greatly needed.
The next local Blood Center of Iowa blood drive will be held on
Thursday, February 4, from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the Farm Bureau
Building in Waukon. (Please note change of location this
month.) Blood drives are held the first Thursday of every month
in Waukon to allow for more donors to give. The Blood Center of
Iowa supplies Veterans Memorial Hospital with their blood and blood
products.
Regular blood donors may donate blood as often as every 56 days.
First time donors will find that donating blood is a safe and easy way
to save lives and make a difference in the community. One single
blood donation can save the lives of up to three sick or injured
hospital patients. 90% of first time donors give at blood drives in
their community. This is a great opportunity for first time
donors to see how easy the blood donation process is.
The donation process is simple:
1. Eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of
fluids at least four hours prior to donating.
2. Bring proper identification, such as
your donor card or a driver’s license.
3. Complete a health history
questionnaire and screening interview.
4. Receive a brief health check by
trained staff. This includes a check of blood pressure, pulse,
temperature and blood iron levels.
5. Sit back while a unit of blood,
approximately one pint, is collected. This process takes around 10
minutes.
6. Enjoy refreshments while relaxing for
10-15 minutes before leaving the facility.
The blood that is collected is tested carefully. In fact, all blood
that is collected by any blood collection center is all tested the
same, according to the federal regulations.
To help maintain Iowa’s blood supply, donate at the Waukon Community
Blood Drive, on Thursday, February 4, at the Farm Bureau Building in
Waukon. Appointments are encouraged and walk-ins can only be
accepted as the schedule permits. To schedule your appointment, please
call the Blood Center of Iowa at 800-287-4903. |
