Tuesday, March 19, 2024 Blood Donations Save Lives - Participate in San Juan Regional Medical Center and Farmington Rotary Club’s Blood Drive

San Juan Regional Medical Center encourages our community to help save lives by donating blood. We are once again teaming up with Farmington Rotary Club to host a blood drive to help lessen the continuing critical need for blood. We encourage anyone eligible to donate to make an appointment. Just one donation can save up to three lives. 

The drive will be held on Monday, March 25 and Tuesday, March 26 at San Juan Regional Medical Center’s Café La Ventana (located on the main floor of the hospital.) Appointments are required, and only take 15 minutes. To sign up:

  • Go to www.vitalant.org and click “Make Appointment Now” 
  • Put in the zip code “87401” 
  • Click “Donate Now” 
  • Jump to the dates (3.25 and 3.26) by using the calendar and scroll down to Farmington Rotary Club to open the appointment calendar 
  • Select a specific time slot:

Monday, March 25: 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Tuesday, March 26: 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

We are accepting two types of blood donations at this event:

  1. The traditional one pint of whole blood.
  2. The Power Red (double red) donation, which takes about 15 minutes longer and collects a concentrated donation of red cells that can help twice as many patients.

Donors must be at least 18 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds. For more information, visit https://vitalant.org/ or contact SJRMC Chaplain Linda Stetter at 505.609.6072.
