Lee Health is hosting multiple blood drives to meet the significant need for blood donors in our community. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many blood drives have been canceled, putting immense pressure on our healthcare system.  Type O+ remains critically low, and supply levels for all other blood types are also below normal. Lee Health is asking the community to please consider making a donation. 

Blood donations with Lee Health Blood Center remain in our four acute care hospitals—Cape Coral Hospital, Gulf Coast Medical Center, HealthPark Medical Center and Lee Memorial Hospital, which houses the only Trauma Center within a five-county radius.

Blood also benefits patients at our specialty hospitals — Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida, the Rehabilitation Hospital, Regional Cancer Center and Lee Health Coconut Point.

The blood used for patient care has to be continuously replenished to maintain a constant blood supply.

For questions or to schedule a visit at a Lee Health Blood Donation Center, please call 239-343-2333.
