If every eligible donor donated at least twice a year, there wouldn’t be seasonal blood shortages.  In response to this ongoing need, Northside Hospital hosts community blood drives throughout the year at its hospitals in Atlanta, Forsyth and Cherokee.  Upcoming blood drives include:

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 2-7 p.m.

Wednesday, May 25, 2011 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
