Calling all who tested for antibodies at the Mayo Clinic (at Oholei Torah in Crown Heights) with an index level of 2.0 and above and all who tested at Mount Sinai with a titer level of 320 and above!
Join this week’s 56 donors from Crown Heights and be part of the Save-a-Life Mitzvah.
What you can expect: Bethlehem is 1:45 from Crown Heights (90 miles). There’s a check-in, paperwork and prescreening process. That takes about 20-30 minutes. The actual donation time can vary from 40-60 minutes. Give yourselves a couple of minutes after that to get your bearings and grab a snack before you head home.
They are accepting 2 people every 15 minutes from 8:00 am to 12:45 pm.

When e-mailing, please indicate whether you have a car or not; if you have a car, please indicate how many people you can take with you.
Please also let us know what time slot is best for you and we will try and accommodate you.

Thank you in advance.

i want to give blood/plasma but i’m being rejected,because i’m over 65.
Is this some type of discrimination
and a woman that had a pregnancy – that’s BH like 80% of women in CH
There is obviously a reason
Whole, oxygen-rich, healthy, blood would be FAR more valuable. The Virus attacks the ability of the lungs to transfer O2.
I was emailed that above 1.21 is eligible to donate but here I’m seeing above 2. Please clarify.
Thanks
This location’s regulations require 2.0 and above. Other locations will allow 1.21 and above. Email the email address in the article for all questions and concerns.
Why do they make us drive from NYC to PA? There isn’t enough people nearby? Please explain
