Mary Rutan Hospital hosts a Community Blood Center Bloodmobile blood drive from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “Get in the Game For Life” football T-shirt that celebrates late November as a time in the season when football championships are decided, and honors blood donors as champions for saving lives.
The CBC is expanding the opportunity to donate platelets and plasma at select community blood drives. Platelets are blood cells that help control bleeding. Plasma is the fluid component that helps maintain blood pressure. Both are vital to the treatment of cancer, organ transplant, burn, and trauma patients.
New platelet donors are in high demand, especially those with blood types A, AB, or B-positive. Find out more at www.givingblood.org or talk to an apheresis specialist at (937) 461-3220.
