FAIR LAKES BLOOD DRIVES
It only takes an hour of your time to help save a life! Each day Inova must see over 200 blood donors in order to meet the demands of local hospitals. See Donor Eligibility.
Thanks to all those that donated blood at the last blood drive on September 17. Please stay tuned for details on the next blood drive!
Absorption of iron occurs within four hours of eating. Since our bodies sometimes need help maintaining a sufficient iron reserve, it is very important to add iron-rich foods to your diet to keep your iron level adequate for donation. Click here for a list of iron-rich foods.
