Mather Hospital Blood Drive March 9

Donate blood between 6 am and 6 pm. Open to the community.

John T. Mather Memorial Hospital will hold its Winter Blood Drive on Monday, March 9 from 6:30 am until 6:30 pm in Conference Rooms 3, 4, and 5. The blood drive is open to all community residents.

No appointment is necessary to donate blood. Free valet parking is available for community donors at the main hospital entrance. All successful donors will receive a free gift card.

Severe winter weather has led to the cancellation of blood drives, resulting in a critical blood shortage, according to The New York Blood Center.
