Kentucky Blood Center will host a blood drive at Highlands ARH Tuesday, July 18 from 10 a.m–2 p.m, offering donors an important opportunity to save lives at a critical time on the calendar.

KBC is calling on Kentuckians to step up and save local patients’ lives. As a thank you for donating blood, KBC will provide all donors with a “Give Local” T-shirt (while supplies last).

Blood collected at this drive will save the lives of patients in Kentucky who require products for surgeries, diseases like cancer, traumas, organ transplants, premature births and more. Kentucky Blood Center, through the generous donation of blood from donors, provides lifesaving blood products to more than 70 hospitals in Kentucky.

Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are welcome. To schedule a donation, visit kybloodcenter.org or call 800.775.2522.
