Before anyone donates blood, there are some guidelines to abide by. It is recommended by Marsh Regional Blood Center that a participant must be at least 17-years-old, and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. They have to weigh at least 110 pounds or more, and have to have eaten a well-balanced and nutritional meal within four to six hours before donating blood. Participants must also be in good health before donating.
If participants have any signs of sickness, such as a cold, fever, flu, fever blisters, sore throat or any other types of ailments, they will not be allowed to donate any blood. When donating blood, usually one pint is donated, and this amount can save up to three lives. The entire blood donating process usually takes less than one hour.
Walk-ins are welcomed and appointments are not required.
Marsh Regional Blood Center is always encouraging the public to sign up to donate since the need for blood is low.
Southwest Virginia Community Health Systems also has locations in Tazewell, Meadowview, Saltville, and Bristol. You can schedule an appointment with them at 276-496-4492.
