SUMMARY:Roll Up a Sleeve at the Statehouse Day Blood Drive  During Red Cross Month
DESCRIPTION:The American Red Cross Indiana Region invites you to roll up a sleeve and make a lifesaving blood donation at the annual Statehouse Day Blood Drive on Tuesday\, March 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the South Atrium of the Indiana State Capitol. Donors can give blood alongside members of the Indiana State Legislature as the House of Representatives and Senate compete to help patients who rely on critical blood transfusions. \n  \nStatehouse Day Blood Drive \nTuesday\, March 4\, 2025 \n9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nIndiana State Capitol Building – South Atrium \n200 W. Washington St. \nIndianapolis\, IN 46204 \n  \nDuring March\, the Red Cross is helping to bridge access to health care for blood donors by providing free A1C testing\, commonly used to screen for diabetes and prediabetes\, on all successful blood\, platelet and plasma donations. \n  \nOne-third of people lack access to regular primary care in the U.S.\, where diabetes affects 1 in 10 people and nearly a quarter of those living with it have been undiagnosed\, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The free A1C screening aims to help address this gap by empowering blood donors with valuable information to maintain their health and well-being. This new offering is among the longtime work of the Red Cross to support the health of communities\, which also includes disaster relief efforts such as basic disaster health and mental health services among other assistance. \n  \nHOW TO REGISTER Visit redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code INStatehouse or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to schedule an appointment to give blood in March and learn more about your health. Additionally\, all who come to give blood\, platelets or plasma March 1-31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. See RedCrossBlood.org/March for details on both offers. \n

People who are Black or African American or Hispanic or Latino are at increased risk for developing kidney disease.

Anyone can take a quick online quiz to assess their risk factors for kidney disease at MinuteForYourKidneys.org.
