Help Save a Life!

Every 3 seconds someone needs a blood transfusion. Patients suffering from trauma, cancer, leukemia, kidney and heart disease, premature birth, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia...all require lifesaving blood transfusions. The local Southern Nevada supply is running short during these hot summer months. You can help make sure blood is available when it’s needed.

Schedule your blood donation appointment for our upcoming drive:

When: Friday, July 28th – Appointments still available between 9:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.
Where: Anthem Center (in bus located outside Fitness Center)

Please call the Wellness Center at 614-5877 to reserve your appointment.

Thank you,
