Blood Assurance Moving To Appointment Only To Promote Social Distancing

Blood Assurance will be seeing donors by appointment only starting April 3. Due to COVID-19, the CDC has recommended that people practice social distancing and Blood Assurance is taking this step to ensure that donor centers and blood drives stay uncrowded and are able to maintain space between donors. Blood Assurance is continuing to follow new protocols, including extra sanitizing, to ensure the health of its donors and is closely monitoring the coronavirus outbreak nationally and in its service area. Blood Assurance is also urging donors to use its BAQuickScreen app to answer health history questions in advance for donors to save time and limit time in centers and blood drive areas. To do that, donors can visit bloodassurance.org/quickscreen. Donating whole blood takes about 30 minutes and can impact 3 people in area hospitals. An appointment can be scheduled by phone or online. To schedule an appointment at a donor center or blood drive, please visit www.bloodassurance.org, call 800-962-0628 or text BAGIVE to 999777.
