Blood Drive - Thank You!
We were thrilled to host a blood drive at our South Hadley office in November, 2010! The team from Baystate Health’s blood donor center was able to collect six units of blood (a great turnout despite cold and flu season); each unit of blood was processed into a unit of red cells and a unit of plasma.
After the drive we received feedback that the donations helped to save 12 lives in the community! As noted by Cheryl from the blood donor center, the blood donations “were used to treat open heart surgical patients, trauma patients in the emergency room, both adult and pediatric cancer patients at our D’Amour Center for Cancer Care, and a newborn baby who required several blood transfusions to survive.”
We look forward to our next blood drive and encourage you to consider donating!
