Donate blood.
The UCHealth Garth Englund Blood Center has put out an urgent request for blood donors. Here’s what you need to know:
- Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still safe to donate and receive blood, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Donors must undergo the usual screenings, and in addition, they will be asked if they recently traveled to any of the major coronavirus outbreak countries, or if they or anyone close to them has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having COVID-19.
- To donate, call to schedule an appointment:
- Garth Englund Blood Center Loveland – 970.624.1510
