Blood donors needed in Kane County

GENEVA – Batavia resident Dan Erickson was sipping orange juice to raise his blood sugar levels recently after donating blood at Heartland Blood Centers in Geneva.

“They want you to drink and eat after a donation,” the 52-year-old said.

Erickson’s donation was welcome. With the number of blood donors down because of the flu outbreak spreading across central and southern Kane County, along with the fact that about 5 percent of the eligible population typically donates blood, Heartland Blood Centers are in need.
