Room located on the first floor. Anyone wishing to donate can call (828) 698-7302, or email
[email protected] for an appointment. Donors can enter the hospital through the main

"With the increase in travel during the summer months, levels traditionally become depleted.As always there is a need for donors with blood types O and B," said Terrie Garren, senior donor recruitment representative of Donor Resources Development at the American Red Cross. In order to donate blood, one must be healthy, at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more, and not have donated blood in the past 56 days. Walk-in donors will be accepted, but those with appointments will be seen first. All donors will be entered into a prize drawing to receive a $750 gas card. Pardee Hospital is a not-for-profit community hospital founded in 1953. The main hospital is licensed for 222 acute care beds and is the second largest employer in Henderson County. The hospital has several locations separate from the main campus, including a 130-bed nursing facility, an adult day services center, a health education center in the Blue Ridge Mall, home care services, a recently expanded rehab & wellness center on Thompson Street, a midwifery program, various family and internal medicine practices, and an urgent care facility. Pardee is a recipient of the 2006 HealthGrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence, placing the hospital among the top 5 percent of hospitals in the U.S. for quality of care.
