Rhodes Tower Blood Donor Center opens
--DAS Office of the Director, July 2003

The State of Ohio now has a permanent blood donor site thanks in part to the work of DAS.

Governor Bob Taft officially opened the State of Ohio's Rhodes Tower Blood Donor Center on Oct. 3, 2001. The center is located at 30 E. Broad St., Columbus, making it more convenient for many state employees working in central Ohio to give blood.

The center consists of four donor beds and is the result of work done by a statewide blood drive committee initiated by Taft. DAS, the Ohio Department of Health and the American Red Cross participated in the planning of the center. The Ohio Building Authority provided the space.

A total of 1,246 productive units of blood were collected in the center during the biennium.
