January 02, 2025 — AdventHealth celebrates blood donor month by hosting the first blood drive of the new year.

HENDERSONVILLE, NC, January 2, 2025 – The month of January is designated as National Blood Donor Month in the United States and AdventHealth invites you to celebrate by signing up to save a life in the new year. The winter months can often be a time of reduced blood donations due to holiday gatherings, bad weather and cold and flu season. AdventHealth Hendersonville is teaming up with The Blood Connection to make sure the blood supply for our community stays healthy and stocked for the new year.

Every two seconds a person needs the lifesaving resource of blood, according to the Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies. You can help ensure that supplies are readily available for our community. Become a donor and join us on Thursday, January 9 at AdventHealth Hendersonville for our first blood drive of the new year.
