"We are really fortunate to have so many community groups and business who share our commitment to the health and wellbeing of the people in our communities," she said. Patients at CVPH, Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone, Elizabethtown Community Hospital (including Ticonderoga) and Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake benefit from the generous donations collected at these drives and at the Adirondack Regional Blood Donor Center. Located at 85 Plaza Blvd., the Donor Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome. Blood donors must be at least 16 years old (16- and 17-year-old donors must have written parental/guardian consent), in general good health and weigh at least 110 lbs. A screening questionnaire addressing personal medical, social and travel history is completed prior to donating and a donor card or another form of identification is also required. Donors must wait 56 days between donations. Learn more about the Adirondack Regional Blood Center, giving blood and becoming a sponsor at UVMHealth.org/GiveBlood or call 518-562-7406.
