Appointments
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (SBCH) is partnering with Vitalant to host a blood drive on Thursday, May 15, 2025, from 3 – 7 p.m. Community members are encouraged to register to donate and help save lives.
One blood donation can help multiple patients. With an ongoing demand for blood, every donation ensures hospitals have the resources to treat patients. Although most people are eligible to donate, only about 3% of the population does, making every contribution vital. As the sole blood supplier in Santa Barbara County, Vitalant provides more than 14,000 units of blood products locally each year to those in need.
Blood donated at this drive goes into a local supply pool, directly supporting SBCH and ensuring the hospital has the necessary blood products for patient care.
Blood Drive Details:
- Thursday, May 15, 2025 | 3:00 – 7:00 p.m.
- Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (400 W Pueblo St, Santa Barbara, CA 93105)
- The Vitalant Bloodmobile will be stationed at the hospital's main entrance at Castillo and Pueblo
This May, Vitalant is showing appreciation for donors by giving away an epic vacation package that includes 4 tickets to Universal Epic Universe theme park at Universal Orlando Resort, airfare, hotel and a $2,500 prepaid electronic gift card. Donate May 1 - 31 and you’ll be entered for a chance to win. Details at vitalant.org/EpicGiveaway.
