Patrick Lee, 67, has passed the practice of donating blood onto his children and grandchildren. “I wanted them to be comfortable with donating blood. And they’ve all been blood donors,” Lee said.
The process for donating blood for the American Red Cross is routine.
Fill out your health history and have a mini-physical to ensure your iron levels are high enough and your heartbeat is normal. Red Cross attendants fill several vials with blood for testing then scan the vials’ barcodes and punch your personal data into a handheld device. Then you’re ready to give.
