Blood donations are needed immediately to boost the supply in our community. Donors have the potential of touching up to three lives when donating blood. Southeast Georgia Health System will partner with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on Friday, July 28, giving donors the opportunity to be someone’s hero.

The blood drive will be held at the Health System’s Brunswick Campus, 2415 Parkwood Drive, in the Linda S. Pinson Conference Center, Room 1, from 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

Appointments are required and can be made online by visiting RedCrossBlood.org and entering sponsor code “sghsys” in the search bar, or call 800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767).

The Health System is experiencing low units of all blood types and particularly the “O” blood types. If you are able, please consider donating.

Donors can save up to 15 minutes at the blood drive by reading and completing the RapidPass® pre-donation health history questionnaire. To complete a RapidPass®, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
