UM Charles Blood Drives

UM Charles Regional Medical Center holds open blood drives so that you can support our medical community. The blood drives are extremely productive in the Southern Maryland area.

There are many reasons to give — someone in the U.S. needs blood every two seconds and one donation can save up to three lives — but really, it is the right thing to do, and you will walk a little taller each time you donate.
