Red Cross Offers Free A1C Testing for Blood Donors in March

The American Red Cross Indiana Region says it is helping to bridge access to health care for blood donors by providing free A1C testing, commonly used to screen for diabetes and prediabetes, on all successful blood, platelet and plasma donations in March 2025.  “This new offering is among the longtime work of the Red Cross to support the health of communities, which also includes disaster relief efforts such as basic disaster health and mental health services among other assistance,” a news release said. The nonprofit also said Hoosiers can also make a financial donation during the American Red Cross 11th annual Giving Day March 26 to support people with disaster services such as emergency shelter, food, relief supplies, basic health care, emotional support and financial assistance. March is Red Cross Month. Visit RedCrossBlood.org for details.
