Donating Blood at Inova Woodburn Center

The easiest way for you to become part of the Northern Virginia community is to become a regular blood donor. Yes, you can “give back” by spending about an hour of your time in one of the blood donor centers that are set up across the area.

There is a new Zika virus exclusion if you have traveled to regions recently in 2016.

The need: Over 200 units a day

Here are the locations in Northern Virginia (9/2014):

  • CentreMed – in Centreville on Route 28. 6201 Centreville Road
  • Fairfax Hospital~  Medical Park – . 3289 Woodburn Road
  • Dulles Town Center -45745 Nokes Boulevard, Sterling
  • Inova Mount Vernon Hospital -2501 Parkers Lane, Alexandria

Please check out the INOVA Blood Donor Services page for operating hours ~ walk-ins encouraged!

You will also see the Blood Mobile at locations like the Vienna VA Community Center, Tysons Corner and the Reston Town Center.

Inventory of whole blood at InovaAccording to the Inova Blood Donor Services web site, the Washington D.C. area needs over 200 units of whole blood a day to help save lives. And recent studies show that only 37% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate, and of that amount only 5% donate blood on a regular basis.

Only about 5% donate blood regularly

Take a look at the chart and see where your blood type lines up. It is time to make a commitment to help the community and maybe save the life someone you will never meet. Thanks!

Safety note: You cannot contract blood borne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS by donating blood.

He's a Boston University graduate who feels morning coffee is non-negotiable.
