Children's Hospital Blood Drive

Children’s National Medical Center, locally referred to as children’s Hospital, is the only exclusive provider of pediatric care in the Washington, Metropolitan area. Many children in the hospital require fresh blood or special rare types of red blood cells. Red blood cells, platelets, and plasma are in constant demand for victims of accidents, cancer treatments, blood diseases, and many types of surgery. Please take a few minutes from your busy schedule and donate lifesaving blood for the patients at Children’s National. Located near The Washington Harbour parking entrance from 10:00am - 2:30pm. To help facilitate more people, please schedule an appointment emailing Andrea Wolschleger, awolschl@childrensnational.org, or calling 202.476.5437. For more information about the Bloodmobile, visit www.childrensnational.org/donateblood.
