Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will host a mobile blood drive outside the Staples Center when the Clippers play the Lakers on Saturday, Jan. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cedars-Sinai launched its mobile blood collection program 10 years ago in partnership with local schools, community organizations and other community members.

The program has since expanded to include a mobile platelet collection program for patients who need transfusions.

Cedars-Sinai has additional blood donation events scheduled for Jan. 16 and 24 at the center’s blood donor facility.

The Staples Center is located at 1111 S. Figueroa St. For information, visit cedars-sinai.edu.
