LifeStream blood bank in San Bernardino County is again facing a dangerously low blood shortage and is issuing an appeal for blood donations. Reporter Andrew Dieleman has the details on how you can donate blood…
Hospitals in San Bernardino County are experiencing blood shortages due to a sudden increase in scheduled surgeries, and more blood is desperately needed. Appointments to donate blood are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Donors must be at least 15 years of age (15- and 16-year-olds require a signed parental consent form; the form is available at all LifeStream locations), weigh at least 115 pounds, present current photo ID, and be in good health. Additional disinfecting protocols and social distancing guidelines are in place at all LifeStream locations to protect both donors and staff. To locate the nearest LifeStream collection site including convenient mobile blood drives, go to LStream.org or call 800-879-4484.
