Blood Drive
November 18, 2022 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
South Georgia Medical Center urges the community to give blood at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, the sole blood provider to the patients of SGMC. LifeSouth reports that a decrease in blood donations over the summer months has caused the blood supply to drop to emergency levels. To ensure the patients in our community have a stable blood supply, donors are needed now.
All donors receive 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’s donor center is located at 301 Woodrow Wilson Dr, Valdosta, GA 31602, near the hospital. 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
Keep your blood donation local, donate with LifeSouth Community Blood Centers.
