I’ll have to forego aphereris donations this summer, for lack of time, but whole blood is easy. I just got this from my local blood center.
Summer is a challenging time for Puget Sound Blood Center to sustain adequate blood supplies. We lose access to nearly 20% of our donor base: people who donate blood at our region’s high schools. Furthermore, many donors take vacations during the summer as well.
Unfortunately, the need for blood does not take a vacation. On any given day, Puget Sound Blood Center needs to collect blood from 800-900 volunteers in order to support patients undergoing medical care. By sharing your good health, you provide hope and a vital tool that can help patients regain their health. Furthermore, blood donors provide some peace of mind and hope to the families supporting their loved on during their time of crisis.
Please help us by making the effort to donate blood this summer. Please help us further by sharing this information with a friend or co-worker: the primary reason why people do not donate blood is because they were not asked by someone they respect.
For further questions about blood donation, please contact me, or Puget Sound Blood Center’s Clinical Nurses at clinicalprogram@psbc.org or call 206-292-2543.
Interesting how Gmail parses these things and offers to create calendar events for you.
