    “Our first responders see the daily need for blood first-hand when the people they rescue require life-saving treatment,” said Dr. John Armitage, president & CEO of Our Blood Institute. “We can’t say enough about the service our police, fire and EMSA provide, and we owe it to them to do our part in making sure blood is available in emergency situations.”
     
    Anyone who is healthy and 16 years old* or older can give blood. Donation typically takes only about an hour, and one donation saves up to three lives. Appointments to donate can be made online at obi.org or by calling 877-340-8777. Walk-ins are also welcome.
