NEW ORLEANS – Ochsner Blood Bank has announced upcoming blood donation events in the Greater New Orleans area for the month of June. The Ochsner teams share they are working to meet people where they are by bringing blood donation opportunities to locations throughout southeastern Louisiana. Appointments can be made online; however, walk-ups are welcome.
Now through June 30 (or as supplies last), all donors will receive a voucher for a pint of Blue Bell ice cream, available at all blood donation locations.
While all blood types are accepted, we are especially in need of platelets and Type O red cells. Your donation plays a role in saving the lives of our patients and those in our community.
Blood donors must:
- Be at least 17-years-old and weigh at least 110 pounds.
- Be over cold or flu symptoms for 72 hours.
- Have had no dental work (including cleaning) in the past 72 hours.
- Have not donated whole blood in the last 8 weeks.
- Have had no transfusions for 3 months.
