FREE COVID-19 ANTIBODY TEST WITH EACH DONATION GFWC Quartzsite Woman's Club is sponsoring a Blood Drive on Monday January 25th 9:00 am - 1:00 pm at the Community Center. Sched- ule your appointment to give blood at www. bloodhero.com and pick your site as Quartzsite or call 877-25-VITAL (877-258-4825). Please bring your photo ID and donor card (if you have one).. Free cholesterol testing with every dona- tion. Find the Hero in You and schedule your appointment. One unit of blood that is donated, can provide for 3 blood transfusions, so, in essence, you are help- ing 3 patients with your one unit (approximately 1 pint) of blood. It is estimated that 80% of the US population will need a blood transfusion in their lifetime. The blood you donate at your blood drive is tested, processed and delivered back into our local community hospitals to provide for surgery and chemotherapy patients, people who have blood disorders, newborn babies, expectant mothers and - of course - traumatic situations, such as accidents, shootings, etc. Several factors affect our community blood bank's supply of blood for hospital patients: 1. Donors have moved away or are traveling or working and are unavailable to donate in their communities 2. Many donors are deferred due to low iron, dehydration, high or low blood pressure, medi- cations, elevated pulse rate, blood disorders (anemia), or have traveled to restricted areas outside of the United States 3. Apathy - "someone else will donate, so I don't need to" 4. People assume that they are not eligible to donate due to age or health issues. For instance, diabetes does not always defer an individual from donating. Donor requirements: 1. Donors must be at least 17 years of age - ??? (no age limit) and in good health. 2. YOU MUST BRING A PICTURE ID WITH FIRST AND LAST NAME TO THE BLOOD DRIVE 3. Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds (height and weight restrictions pertain to do- nors between the age of 17-22. 4. If you received your Tattoo from a shop in AZ it just needs to be healed before you can donate. The at least one year old rule no longer applies. 5. Donors must wait 56 days after their last donation before they are eligible to donate for a single donation 6. Donors, who gave a double, must wait 112 days after their last donation before they are eligible to donate 7. Expectant mothers cannot donate 8. Donors must be in good health i.e., no cold, fl u or fl u like symptoms 9. Surgery patients are also temporarily de- ferred from donating (Call (1-877-827-4376 for specifi c information on the wait time between donations.)
