Forbush HOSA hosts annual blood drive

This year’s fall blood drive for Forbush High School was a success. Our HOSA-Future Health Professionals team and the American Red Cross came together and collected 146 units out of our 165 unit goal, and these 146 units of blood will help 438 people. We, as a team, host two blood drives each year, one being in the spring and one being in the fall.

Our head canteen, Kylie Jenkins, took control over the rest area for donors after they have donated. Our donors are advised to wait 15-30 minutes and eat after blood donation before leaving the gym to continue their day.
