Additional blood drives are scheduled at Honda Center Mar. 30, Apr. 13 and Apr. 27. Honda Center was the site of seven previous blood drives with UCI Health since the start of the pandemic, with donations representing the equivalent of 560 saved lives.
All blood drive events will be by appointment only. Those interested in donating are
encouraged to register here
. Appointments are available between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The safety of donors and staff will be the utmost priority for UCI Health. Social distancing policies will be enforced, with masks mandatory for all donors and staff members.
As Orange County's only Level 1 Trauma Center, UCI Medical Center requires more than 1,000 blood donations per month in order to meet the needs of patients receiving trauma care. There is no substitute for human blood and as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the need is even greater, especially for "O" type blood. Honda Center blood drive donations will help UCI Health maintain its supply and save lives in our community.
