Helpful info & myth de-bunkers:
Blood donation is available to ages 16 years old & up
17 years & older can be 110 lbs minimum
16 year olds specifically are required to obtain a signed parent consent form (attached here) and need to be at least 135 lbs if they’re age 16
First-timers definitely welcome: one doesn’t need to know their type & will receive comprehensive information to be able to find out their own individual type at no cost whatsoever within two weeks after their donation
Access to the online portal which allows donors to see any previous donations, blood type, health-wellness summary & if any fluctuations in b/p, iron, etc.
Contrary to some inaccurate beliefs, many people are fine to give blood & majority of common medications are not a problem: cholesterol, antidepressants, blood pressure, birth control, thyroid, even diabetics who take insulin can safely give blood
Pain medications including aspirin, codeine, vicodin are also allowed
Even those who have had issues with decreased iron can try (most people do not have actual anemia).
Taking iron pills, daily vitamins, or pre-natal vitamins is fine.
Just like body piercings, tattoos are accepted! (as long as any body-inkwork was performed at a licensed professional shop, and nothing amateur done in a garage or incarceration setting)
The human body has approximately 8–10 pints of blood inside & a donation simply consists of just 1 pint. Then, the body will naturally replenish itself & regenerate the strong development of new cells. A helpful metaphor for giving blood is that it’s like an oil change for the body, similar as to an oil change for a car. It’s good & healthy for the body!
Cedars-Sinai will provide each & every person complimentary health screenings before donating which includes blood pressure assessment & iron hematocrit evaluation.
There’s a brief questionnaire each person fills out of yes/no questions
The actual donation process itself only takes about 10 mins & they’re fine to resume their normal day afterwards (go back to class, drive a vehicle, do errands, etc)
All-you-can-eat refreshment snacks
Walk away not only with a wonderful feeling of touching someone’s life in a deeply meaningful way, yet also receive a complimentary token of appreciation to enjoy a special treat!
