The Orlando VA Medical Center (OVAMC) has partnered with One Blood to host a public Blood Drive on May 13, 2020 by appointment only from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. at the SimLEARN, 13800 Veterans Way, Orlando.

Donating blood is always helpful for the healthcare field, but it is especially critical during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The OVAMC is proud to work alongside the community to help contribute in making a difference.

Please be advised that all willing donors will complete a COVID-19 screening at the front main entrance gates to participate.

The donation will include a One Blood complimentary wellness check-up that entails blood pressure, pulse, temperature, iron count and cholesterol screening.

For more information, please contact the Orlando VA Healthcare System Public Affairs Office at (407) 631-4436, or via e-mail at vhaorlpublicaffairs@va.gov
