LG Health Holds January 2019 Community Blood Drives

Donating blood is the simplest way to help neighbors in need. LG Health sponsors community blood drives each month throughout Lancaster County. Blood that is collected stays in Lancaster County to benefit members of our community.

LG Health Blood Donor Center encourages people to donate blood and platelets as often as possible – and especially during the winter holidays when donations typically drop due to busy schedules.

The LG Health Blood Donor Center is offering a special thank you gift to blood donors through Jan. 31.
