LifeSouth Community Blood Centers offers complimentary A1c testing to all blood donors now through August 31, giving donors the chance to learn if they may have pre-diabetes or diabetes, and more about their health.

Blood donors who donate with LifeSouth during EMS Week, May 18 through May 24 will have an opportunity to donate toward police or fire, and the organization with the most donors will be announced at the World Police and Fire Games held in Birmingham, Ala.  During the week, blood donors will receive a special t-shirt, either red for fire or blue for police, commemorating the World Police and Fire Games, and a $25 e-gift card.

O- donors are known as universal donors. Since any patient can receive O- blood, it is often used in emergency situations to treat traumas and is considered the safest choice for newborns with compromised immune systems. Our community’s blood supply has reached critically low levels. Type O- donors are needed now.

By signing up to potentially participate in a research project with the LifeSouth Research Institute, blood donors and those who may be ineligible to donate can help patients in their community by contributing to research that could lead to breakthroughs in medical science.

Give blood at the Alachua County Youth Fair, Friday, February 28 through Tuesday, March 4.
