SANIBEL, Fla. (WINK) — The City of Sanibel is sponsoring a blood drive on Thursday at the Sanibel Public Library to help address a need for blood donations in Lee County.
The Lee Health Blood Center's Bloodmobile will be in the front parking lot of the library at 770 Dunlop Road from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donors will receive a mini-physical that includes checks of temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and hemoglobin.
Donors must be at least 17 years old and weigh at least 115 pounds. Appointments are encouraged to reduce wait times and can be scheduled by emailing patricia.hotton@mysanibel.com with name, contact information and preferred appointment times.
Appointments start at 8:30 a.m. and run in half-hour increments, with the last appointments at 4 p.m.
Walk-ins will be accepted on the day of the blood drive and worked in between confirmed appointments.
