Blood Banks of Mid-Florida Medical Services

 

About 65% of our blood is collected on our bloodmobiles.  We can bring a bloodmobile to your location for as few as 5 donors.

Who can sponsor a blood drive?
You can!  Blood drives can be held at your place of employment, your community, your church, your school, your civic group, and special events.

What do I have to do?
Just contact us.  We will assist you in setting up your blood drive.

To set up your blood drive, call: (863) 297-1840
How much time will this project require of me?
The first time drive usually takes a little more time.  You will be establishing a "baseline" of donors.  After your first drive, it’s easy.  Just invite your regular donors and ask each of them to bring a friend.

Will my blood drive really make a difference?
There is a continuing nationwide blood shortage with very little relief in sight.  Our area hospitals are adding services that require more blood.  (Winter Haven Hospital will soon be performing open heart procedures.  Lake Wales Medical Centers has opened a new emergency facility.)  Every single donor is extremely important.  The most important unit of blood is the one the doctor just requested for a patient.
