July 2015 Lake Havasu Blood Drive

What to Do Before Donating Blood
Drink lots of water. This makes veins easier to access.- Eat a healthy meal before you come in. Iron-rich foods like beef, seafood, eggs, spinach, sweet potatoes, kale, strawberries and watermelon are good.
- Wear comfortable clothing. Short sleeved shirts or tank tops are great.
- Bring a valid photo ID with you.
- Make sure you have a list of all medications and dosages of each you are currently taking, including over-the-counter ones.
- Relax.
After you donate at the July 2015 Lake Havasu Blood Drive, make sure you continue to drink lots of fluids. Don’t over exert yourself for the rest of the day. Your body needs time to recuperate.
