Blood Drive at Kaiser Hospital Hayward

The American Red Cross is holding a public blood drive at Kaiser Permanente in Conference Rooms C1, C2 and C3, 27400 Hesperian Blvd., Hayward from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on January 27. You do not need to be a Kaiser member to donate blood at this event.

Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or go to redcrossblood.org (Sponsor Code: HKAISER) to schedule an appointment.

According to the American Red Cross, blood is needed by accident and trauma victims, premature babies, and patients undergoing treatment for cancer and many other life-threatening diseases. Volunteer blood donations help to ensure blood is there when it is needed.

One donation may help save the lives of up to three people.
