Donate Blood to Win Prizes and Get Candy!
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
Lourdes is hoping to help with an urgent need for
types O negative and B negative blood in our community by hosting a
two day drive at the hospital.
Donors with all blood types are needed, but especially those
with types O and B negative. Red Cross officials say type O
negative donors can make the difference between an adequate blood
supply and a shortage. That's because type O negative blood can be
transfused to patients with any blood type, and is most readily
given to patients in emergency and trauma situations.
You can make a donation on either:
- Tuesday, October 26, 11:30AM - 4:30PM -
Lecture Hall - Lourdes Hospital
- Wednesday, October 27, 7:00AM - 1:00PM -
Lecture Hall - Lourdes Hospital
Appointments are
recommended. Donors can make an appointment by calling
1-800-RED-CROSS or visiting http://www.redcrossblood.org/NYP .
