Become a hero and save lives by donating blood.

Due to the constant need for blood donations, the Chickasaw Nation has partnered with Our Blood Institute (OBI) and the Choctaw, Cherokee and Muscogee Nations in a Tribal Blood Drive Challenge.

OBI provides lifesaving blood to the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center and to hospitals throughout the state of Oklahoma.

The next blood drive will take place Jan. 3 at Newcastle Casino in Newcastle, from noon-5 p.m.

During January donors will receive a themed T-shirt while supplies last. Every blood donation given can potentially save up to three lives.

Schedule an appointment at OBI.org​ or call (877) 340-8777 for any questions.
