Maintaining life-giving supplies of blood is critical for our hospital, region and nation. In fact, all blood used for patients at Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital comes from the Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB). That's why Jennie Edmundson is hosting a blood drive sponsored by NCBB on Wednesday, July 6.

The blood drive will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the mobile collection unit, which will be parked in the lot outside the Emergency Department entrance. Donors will receive a free shirt and a Lucky for Life lottery voucher. Every donation will also help raise money for the Methodist Jennie Edmundson Foundation.

No fasting is needed. Plan to allow approximately one hour for the donation process. 

To register for the blood drive, call (402) 486-9414 or go to ncbb.org/searchdrives and use the sponsor code "MJE."

For answers to specific questions about your eligibility to donate, or help registering, call (402) 486-9414.
