GHC SATO will be co-hosting a blood drive with AFMDA - American Friends of Magen David Adom on Sunday, September 7, 2025 ! If you have not donated after July 6, 2025, then you are still eligible to donate. If you are 16 you will need a parent or guardian’s written consent.

Magen David Adom (MDA) and Blood Centers of America (BCA) - the largest blood supply network in the USA – have a signed agreement: If, heaven forbid, Israel is unable to collect its own residents’ blood due to continued war, natural disaster or other unforeseen emergency, BCA will ship blood from the USA to Israel. Your blood donation also strengthens the US national blood supply, which has still not recovered to pre-Covid 19 levels.

Sign-ups for a time slot are strongly encouraged and preferred. The sign up link is now available by clicking HERE or  https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/333230 . For more information, contact Jay Lutzky at blooddrive@ghcny.org.
