Wellmont Health System’s Marsh Regional Blood Center will conduct public blood drives at the following locations in the coming days:
As many as three lives may be saved each time a person donates blood – and an individual’s blood donation to Marsh Regional stays local to help people in this region. Marsh Regional supplies blood to 22 healthcare facilities in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
Donating blood is particularly important during the holiday season, as supplies drop when people go on vacation and participate in other activities.
To donate blood, individuals must be at least 17 years old, weigh 120 pounds or more and be in good health. Persons with a cold, sore throat, fever, flu or fever blisters or who are taking antibiotics may not donate. Donors should eat a balanced meal before giving blood.
