SAN ANTONIO – Start off the new decade saving a life in the annual KSAT Community blood drive with KSAT Community partner, University Health System.
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
That’s why University Health System is providing blood donation services Monday to Friday from Jan. 27-31 at University Hospital during National Blood Donor Month.
Last year, the University Health System transfused over 30,000 units of blood.
All blood donated at University Hospital is used in-house for its patients.
Red blood cells must be used within 42 days of collection.
Listed below are the times for blood donations through the University Health System.
You can also donate blood through January at University Hospital since the San Antonio area is in urgent need of blood donations.
