In collaboration with EO Puerto Rico, SLP’s, Friends, Employees, and Families, we would like to invite you to be a HERO and donate blood for the Blood Bank of Puerto Rico- which supplies blood to the complex of Centro Medico in Rio Piedras.
With the pandemic, the blood bank in Centro Medico has reduced dramatically. Today the bank has a blood supply for only 2 to 3 days, while it should have a supply of 7 to 14 days for any emergency.
The supply is not enough today to help people against any emergency, such as earthquakes or hurricanes. And the hurricane season is almost here!
For this reason, the organization must now recover a good amount of blood supply to be prepared for any emergency.
If you are concerned about COVID-19 during the blood donation process, we can tell you there is a set of protocols to make HEROES as yourself and the team secure.
SECURITY Protocols
There will be high-security standards where the blood HEROES can feel secure with the process and blood collection.
The temperature will be taken.
Washing hands with soap and water.
Give a surgical mask to any person that arrives with a cloth mask.
The areas will be sanitized for HEROS to arrive.
The Blood Bank staff will be fully protected and is already vaccinated against COVID-19.
You don’t have to go to a hospital, the blood collection will be done at Ciudadela, Santurce.
