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 is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on Friday, Nov.17, 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., giving donors the opportunity to be someone’s hero.

The blood drive will be held in the Health System’s Kemble Conference Center located across from the Brunswick Campus hospital at 3011 Kemble Avenue.

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.
