 12/1/2009 Give the Gift of Life This Season By Donating Blood There’s no gift more precious than life and donating blood is one of the most giving acts that a person can do to help another person in need. Every day, thousands of people rely on blood donors to help them maintain an optimum lifestyle. You can help save a life by donating blood at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital’s Winter Blood Drive on Tuesday, December 15, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital requires more than 4,000 units of blood during the course of a year. To help those in need and to allow others to help, Henry Mayo partners with the American Red Cross to host five blood drives each year on the hospital campus. The blood is used to treat trauma patients who come through the hospital’s Emergency Department and individuals who rely on the blood for transfusions to maintain their lifestyle,” said Roger Der, Medical Director for the Blood Bank. “Regular donors are essential to keeping an adequate supply.” Henry Mayo’s next blood drive will take place Tuesday, December 15, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., in the HMNMH/COC Clinical Education Center, 25727 McBean Parkway (hospital campus). The need is constant. Henry Mayo and the American Red Cross encourage you to do your part in giving back to the community and donating blood. The process is simple and takes approximately one hour. To make an appointment, please call (661) 253-8888 or register on-line at givelife.org and enter in sponsor code henrymayo. |
