Community Comes Together: Lancaster General Health Hosts Month-Long Blood Drives to Address Low Supplies

Lancaster General Health has organized a series of blood drives in various locations across Lancaster County throughout the month of July. The aim of these drives is to address the persistently low levels of blood supplies and encourage individuals to donate blood and platelets if they are able.

To make the donation process as smooth as possible, LG Health recommends that donors register beforehand either online or by phone at (717) 544-0170. Additionally, appointments can be scheduled at LG Health’s Blood Donor Center for those looking to contribute.

It is important to note that the blood collected during these drives will remain in Lancaster County and be utilized by local healthcare providers. This ensures that the donations directly benefit the community.

The blood drives will take place at various locations throughout July, including the Providence Township Building, Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute, Faith Church Quarryville, and Intercourse Fire Co. Among others, these drives are crucial for maintaining an adequate supply of blood and platelets for those in need. With easy registration and convenient time slots, individuals are encouraged to participate in these blood drives to support their community and make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
