Blood Drives

NICU babies, trauma victims, people battling cancer—these are just some of the patients who depend on blood products as part of their life-saving care. As the largest user of blood in the region, it is vital that we help refresh local supplies of this critical resource. That’s why Friends of Strong sponsors all of UR Medicine’s American Red Cross Blood Drives.

What’s sweeter than the instant gratification you’ll get from knowing your generous donation can save up to three lives? Please consider making a blood donation through UR Medicine and Friends of Strong.
