Community Blood Center is holding a blood drive at Sycamore Medical Center on June 14 from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Their bus will be located behind the cafeteria.
The need for blood is constant and can be the difference between losing or saving someone’s loved one. If you choose to give, here’s how the gifts are used: 15 percent of red cells go to cancer patients, 9 percent of red cells go to emergency room trauma patients, 24 percent of red cells go to surgery patients, and about 32 percent of platelet (cell fragments that help blood to clot) donations are used by cancer patients.
