This Valentine’s Day, love goes beyond flowers and cards. It becomes an act of care that can truly change someone’s life. In honor of Heart Health Awareness Month, Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare System is partnering with Gulf Coast Blood to host a Valentine’s Day Blood Drive at River Oaks Hospital & Clinics.
Blood donations are essential every single day for patients undergoing surgery, managing chronic illness, or facing unexpected emergencies. By donating blood, you are offering something deeply personal that helps neighbors, families, and loved ones throughout our community.
Date: Saturday, February 14 l Time: 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Location: River Oaks Hospital & Clinics (4200 Twelve Oaks Pl, Houston, TX 77027)

Gulf Coast Blood will have a donor bus parked directly in front of the hospital, making it easy and convenient to participate. Their experienced team will be on-site throughout the event to oversee collections and ensure a safe, comfortable, and efficient donation experience.
Appointments are encouraged to help keep the process smooth, though walk-ins are always welcome. All successful donors will receive a free quarter-zip hoodie and complimentary A1C testing as a thank-you for their generosity. Complimentary cookies and juice from Hearsay Gastro Lounge will be available before and after donation to help donors relax and recharge.
