'Snow Angels' Needed to Boost Weakened Blood Supply

Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati is continuing its emergency appeal for all blood types, that was issued last week. All eligible individuals are being asked to donate blood immediately. 

“The winter storm blanketing the Tri-State is naturally affecting donor turnout today and will likely affect turnout tomorrow” reports Alecia Lipton, Hoxworth spokesperson. “We are encouraging safe driving and asking eligible donors to donate this week.”

As a special thank you, Hoxworth will award all blood donors today thru Saturday double points in its online Premier Donor Club.  These points can be redeemed for restaurant gift cards, movie tickets, t-shirts, and other gift items. 
 
Hoxworth operates eight Neighborhood Donor Centers in Anderson, Blue Ash, Downtown, Ft. Mitchell, Mason, Tri-County, Western Hills and the Hoxworth Center. Walk-ins are welcome, however appointments are encouraged. Call (513) 451-0910 or visit hoxworth.org.
