• While 50% of the population is eligible to donate blood, only 5% do so.
• Lancaster General Health (LGH) uses 70-90 pints of blood every day.
• When you donate w/ LGH blood donor center, the blood stays in Lancaster County and is never sold or taken out of the community.
• One pint saves 3 lives.
• LGH rarely has enough and must purchase blood every month.
• LGH does not charge their patients for the blood no matter how much they use.
• Every 3 seconds someone needs blood.
• Every pint is spun down into 3 components: platelets, plasma & red blood cells.
• It only takes 1 hour to donate & you can donate every 56 days.
