Give the gift of life by donating blood. Morris Hospital is hosting a blood drive in cooperation with Heartland Blood Centers on Tuesday, July 24, from 12:30-4:30 p.m. in Whitman Assembly Room 1 at Morris Hospital, 150 W. High Street in Morris.
According to Heartland Blood Centers, blood donations are at a critically low level and the need for donors is urgent. Everyone who donates will receive a blood donor t-shirt complimentary of the Chicago Bears and a free breakfast entrée from Chick-fil-A.
In order to donate blood, potential donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health and feeling well on the day of donation, and be at least 17 years old. In Illinois, 16-year-olds may donate with written approval from a parent or guardian.
The entire process for donating blood takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Donors should bring a photo ID with proof of age. Those planning to donate should eat within four hours preceding the donation.
Appointments are recommended by calling Morris Hospital at 815-705-7370 or going online to www.heartlandbc.org. Walk-ins are welcome.
