Description

The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks has scheduled a blood drive for Friday, March 6th from 11-3 at Siloam Springs Memorial Hospital's annex, 304 S. Maxwell.

Although current levels are adequate, it takes about 275 donations per day to meet the needs of the 37 area hospitals that use CBCO products.

Blood donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in general good health and present required identification. A new law gives 16-yearolds the opportunity to donate blood provided they meet the requirements and have written parental consent.

According to CBCO, a single blood donation can save the lives of up to three people.

For more information, call (800) 280-5337 or go online to www.cbco.org.
