American Red Cross
Sunday, May 27th @ 6am
92.9 The Wave, ESPN Radio 94.1, Star 1310 and 97.3 The Eagle
This Sunday on Hampton Roads Topics I talk with Kristen Hatfield of the American Red Cross Mid-Atlantic Blood Services Region. Hatfield says they usually have the hardest time meeting demand for blood products during the summer because people are traveling and because high schools and colleges where students could donate are closed for the summer.
The criteria to be eligible to give blood are pretty basic. A blood donor must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in overall good health. The appointment for giving blood lasts about an hour, but the actual donation takes only 10-15 minutes.
