Give the Gift of Life This Holiday Season

Leonardtown, MD (Dec. 3, 2015) – The American Red Cross and MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital has added a special holiday blood drive in the hopes that the holiday spirit will inspire many to give life by giving blood this December.

The other community blood drive will be held Tuesday, Dec. 22, from noon to 5:30 p.m. in the Red Cross Bloodmobile outside the hospital’s Outpatient Pavilion. Donors will register inside the pavilion lobby. To schedule a donation appointment, call 301-475-6019 or schedule it online at redcrossblood.org.

For the fastest donation experience possible, donors should complete a RapidPass on the Red Cross web site (redcrossblood.org/rapidpass). RapidPass is not the same as an appointment and must be completed the same day of your appointment. For more information, call the Health Connections office at 301-475-6019.
