Blood Supply Interview

When you visit the Center or Community Buds Center, the Ozark flood drive, we are requiring both our staff and the donors themselves to wear masks. We will provide one for you if you do not have one, but I can't imagine anyone quite frankly right now that would not have access to a mask. But yeah, masks are required. We've increased our sanitation conditions, which are already really stringent. We operate under the guise of the Food and Drug Administration, we're considered a pharmaceutical manufacturer. And so, they were already pretty stringent, but we have doubled down on those. We've cleaned surfaces that donors touch after they've touched them. And just hand sanitizers, I never had a place. Of course, you get many physical whenever you do give blood. We take care of blood pressure, your temperature, your iron levels, so we'll be able to identify if you've got a high fever or something like that. But the bottom line is this, if you are feeling well and healthy, please consider a blood donation. If you aren't feeling well, stay away for a week or two and until you're feeling better.

But that's always been one of our criteria for donating is that you feel well and healthy and so we continue to follow that. And we'll continue to take every step necessary to make the donation process as safe as possible.
