This summer, blood donations have dramatically dropped be- cause fewer donors are available due to an increase in post-pandemic travel and activities.
Vitalant is now experiencing an emergency shortage of all blood types. Your September blood drive donation can help end the shortage.
The next Centerpoint Pagosa blood drive will be held Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 10am to 3pm in the Centerpoint sanctuary at 2750 Cornerstone Drive.
If you would like to schedule your donor appointment now, please go to www.Vitalant.org to schedule an appointment online, or you can contact Diane Levison at dianeunheard@gmail.com or via text at (602) 770-6565 to have one scheduled for you.
As always, walk-ins will be welcome at this blood drive, but the donation time might take a bit longer as appointments are given priority.
If you have any specific questions regarding your Vitalant donor profile or your ability to donate due to medical or health issues, please contact (877) 258-4825.
