SMH Venice: Suncoast Blood Bank Blood Drive

Friday, January 31, 2025

Event date: 2/28/2025 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Export event

February Blood Drive – Photo ID Required
Give. It’s in Your Blood
 
We know you. We know the stuff you’re made of. That’s right, as an
SMH employee, you’re the compassionate type, the type who steps up.
You’re just our Type!
How do we know? A few obvious hints:
• You work at a hospital ... with a Trauma Center!
• You really get it. Lives are at stake.
• Helping people is more than your job, it’s in your DNA.
Sarasota Memorial uses 1000 units (pints) of blood per month,
but currently yields just 200 units per quarter from our own blood drives.
We can do better, so let’s tackle it, Team SMH-style.
