New Blood Assurance Location Coming to Fort Oglethorpe

FORT OGLETHORPE, Ga. (WDEF)- A new Blood Assurance donation center will be coming to Fort Oglethorpe by early October. This building will be located at 3811 Battlefield Parkway next to a Publix supermarket. That complex is at the intersection of Battlefield Parkway and Dietz Road.

This new location will be 2,000 square feet in size. It will replace an existing location on Lafayette Road which has been operational for 50 years. Construction will begin soon after the Fort Oglethorpe city council approved the new building Monday evening

Brian McDaniel, the regional operations director for Blood Assurance, stated that, “We are extremely excited for this new opportunity. Blood Assurance is grateful to our elected leaders in Fort Oglethorpe for continuing to recognize the vital need for blood collections in the community. With our new building located in a much busier, high-traffic area, I can’t wait to see what the next 50 years brings.”

It is slated to open in early October.
