Six Reasons to Donate Blood At Lee Memorial Blood Centers

• Giving Blood is Safe. The US Surgeon General and all medical authorities agree that it is not possible to catch any disease from donating blood.

• Giving Blood is Easy. Following registration, you will answer simple medical history questions and receive a mini-physical. You will then be seated in a comfortable chair, where you will receive refreshments while you donate.

• Giving Blood is Fast. The entire life-saving process takes approximately 45-60 minutes. The actual donation time is only 10-15 minutes.

• Giving Blood Saves Lives. Whole blood donations are processed into a variety of blood components. Each donation can save the life of as many as four people - people with leukemia, cancer, anemia and those undergoing surgery for illness or injury. Your donation will help ensure an adequate supply for both children and adults who are patients in Lee Memorial Health System.

• Giving Blood Could Save Your Life. You will receive a free mini-physical; we will check your temperature, pulse, blood pressure and test for anemia. We'll also provide a free cholesterol screen upon request.
