The Grace Blog

Grace hosts its next Red Cross Blood drive on February 21, from 8 am – 1 pm.  The blood collected at our October 18 drive went to Via Christi St Francis, Labette Health in Independence, Kansas, Kansas Medical Center in Andover, and Girard Medical Center.

• Every two seconds someone in the US needs blood.
• One pint of blood (the approximate amount given in a donation) can be used to help up to three people.
• About 1/3 of the US population is eligible to give blood.
• Five million patients in the US need blood every year.

You may use the “rapid pass” and save time on the day of your donation. Go to RapidPass to finish the pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online before coming to your appointment.
