Heartland slates November drives To maintain an adequate blood supply, Heartland Blood Centers, an independent medical organization serving 34 hospitals in a 12-county region in Illinois and Indiana, urges all area residents to donate the gift of life at local blood drives during November. Call (800) 786-4483 or visit www.heartlandbc.org.

To be a blood donor, individuals must be at least 17 years old, or 16 with written parental permission; weigh at least 110 pounds; be symptom-free of cold, flu and allergies; and be in general good health.

Donors who have traveled outside the United States within the past 12 months should contact Heartland to determine eligibility.
