If you’re planning to donate blood this fall, the Red Cross says a little preparation can go a long way.
Red Cross Spokesperson Laura McGuire recommends arriving to your appointment healthy and hydrated….
“With flu and cold season coming up on us shortly, we do ask that you’re feeling well. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. The more hydrated you are, the quicker your blood comes out and the process goes a little bit quicker.”
You can visit the Red Cross website at www.redcross.org for more information and to make an appointment to donate.
