So, interestingly in my email, I got a little blurb from the Red Cross stating that my blood donation went to a hospital forgot the specific name in Morgantown WV. Now, that is pretty interesting. Morgantown is a place I know pretty well, my sister went to grad school at WVU, and we used to visit there pretty often. Also, we pass through there when going up to see my parents in PA. We like I 68 which passes through there, as there are no tolls, it is not too heavily traveled and is a good road. Now, I asked them that when I was there..I wonder if someone took a note of that, or if they are just sending the info to everyone now..?

That is nice that you found out where your blood donation went to and that you are familiar with the place too.

I thought so. I am familiar with the town not necessarily where it went.

Maybe you can do research on the place where it went.

@LadyDuck Yeah, but it's not close to here. That city is over 4 hours away.

@snowy22315 May be it's not a bad idea, you know where to go in case you need a transfusion.

Maybe they only tell the ones who want to know.

Could be.. When I was a kid and had an operation one of my uncle's donated blood and I think I got some of that He said..that was a real sacrifice on his part because he realty hated needles.

Good to know where it is going.
I used to give blood but haven't for a number of years.
Maybe I'll look at doing it again.

It's always needed. Probably more now than ever before.

That is so cool! I think that should be a thing, it gives more of an idea as to why it is so important to donate

I don't give blood, do they normally tell you where it's going?

There are only a few medicines people take that don't allow them to donate blood. I would think you could as long as you pass the initial health screening.

I did ask about it when I was there just out of curiosity. Maybe someone remembered.
