LANCASTER, PA – Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health hosts community blood drives every week throughout Lancaster County, as well as at the Blood Donor Center at the Suburban Pavilion.

The LG Health Blood Donor Center encourages people to donate at either a community blood drive or at the blood donor center as often as possible. Blood that is collected stays in Lancaster County to benefit members of our community.

Blood donors must be in good health (free of flu, cold and nausea symptoms for at least three days), 16 years of age (with parental consent) to 79 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, be well hydrated, eat a substantial meal within four hours before donating, and bring a form of ID.

Appointments are encouraged while walk-ins are also accepted. To make an appointment at our Blood Drive locations, please call 717-544-0170, or schedule online at lghblooddonors.org/donorportal/. All individuals presenting to donate will receive our new golf umbrella.
