January is National Blood Donor Month
This month is designated as National Blood Donor Month to remind donors that blood donations are needed to save lives. There are 36% of the population that are eligible to donate blood. In Alaska less than 2% donate blood and Alaskans depend on blood donors in their time of need. During the winter months donations decrease, but the need is constant.
To become a blood donor visit a Blood Bank of Alaska center or call us at 907-222-5630 to schedule your appointment. The process is short and simple. Upon arrival each donor is registered and answers a brief medical questionnaire. If eligible to donate blood a professional donor technician will help you donate blood in our comfortable recliners and then you can enjoy juice & cookies in our recovery area. Thank you for donating blood today.
