Blood
Drive - August 5, 2003
The Washington
Hospital Center will be here on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 from 8:30
a.m. to 2:15 p.m., in the Building 8 Auditorium to accept blood
donations. To schedule an appointment, please call Tony Robinson
at 5-3546 by the close of business on August 4, 2003.
SOME FACTS TO
REMEMBER:
- Several Goddard
employees depend on blood products to sustain life
- Each donation
could possibly save 3-4 lives
- Each donation
produces 7 different blood products
- Our area
uses approximately 1,000 units of blood daily
Most healthy
persons at least l7 years of age can donate every eight weeks, with
a minimum weight of 110 lbs. The process of giving blood is always
under the supervision of a Medical Unit Supervisor. The procedure
includes a medical check, actual donation, and some time for relaxation
and refreshments. Please be sure to get sufficient rest the night
before and eat a well balanced breakfast and lunch the day you donate.
You never know whose life that you may help save.
You may not
donate blood if you have spent 3 months or more in the UK since
1980; or if you have traveled to the United Kingdom, eastern Europe,
western Europe, the country of Oman, and Turkey since 1980 and spent
a total of 6 months or more in all of these countries.
