Help save lives by Donating Blood at a Mobile Location

LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, Inc. has been the sole supplier of blood products to all 5 of the hospitals in Citrus and Hernando Counties for over 30 years.  We are also the sole blood supplier to the UF at Shands and the VA Hospital in Gainesville, FL.

As one donation can potentially save 3 lives, the blood donors of Citrus and Hernando Counties literally “give the gift of life”.  Our centers and bloodmobiles are open 363 days a year and it only takes about a half hour of your time to donate.

Anyone 17, or 16 with parental permission, weighing a minimum of 110 pounds and in good health is eligible to donate. A photo ID is also required.
