STHS lab issues year-end blood drive challenge to community

With the new year just around the corner, the St. Tammany Health System lab is challenging the community to help it finish the year on a strong note by donating blood and helping it surpass the 300-pint milestone for 2024.

Year-to-date, the health system has collected 241 pints of blood, meaning it’s just 59 pints from the 300-pint mark – and there’s one more chance to get it to the finish line.

On Dec. 26, the health system will host a blood drive from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Mandeville/Covington Room at its flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital.

All donors are reminded to have a full meal before donating and to bring their picture ID.

As always, walk-ins are welcome, although appointments are preferred and can be made at the Blood Center website or by scanning the QR code below.

All successful donors will receive a fleece “Blanket of Love” emblazoned with the Blood Center logo – and the satisfaction that they helped save lives.
