USC Campus Health and Keck Medicine of USC sponsor monthly blood drives at both campuses, to help meet the ongoing need for donated blood to help save lives.
Our nation’s blood supply dropped to historic lows during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are no longer in crisis, but we need your help to ensure there is never a shortage again. Donate today to make sure blood is available when it’s needed. Then donate again and again and again. The more often you give, the more lives you can save.
