The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 2 to 7 p.m. in Wade Commons, Pioneer Room.
Approximately 900 pints of blood are needed daily to meet the needs of Northeast Ohio hospitals and medical institutions; each pint of blood can save up to three lives. Donors are encouraged to make an appointment online, but walk-ins are welcome.
Donors can shorten their appointment time by using the RapidPass system to complete their health history online before they donate. RapidPass must be completed on the day of donation and does not replace making an appointment. To make an appointment, visit the American Red Cross donation website.
The blood drive is sponsored by CWRU Emergency Medical Service and hosted by the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning.
