The Community Blood Bank is expecting this week to be one of the worst weeks of the year for the local blood supply because July 4th falls on a Wednesday. Why is this a big deal? The CBB is the ONLY supplier of blood & blood products for Elk Regional. Lives depend upon us having a safe supply.
Come out to the Education Center at Elk Regional Health Center tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and give blood. Take 30 minutes of your time and help us save lives. Please. This is important.
Those who donate:
- must be in general good health;
- must weigh at least 110 pounds;
- must have no new tattoos or piercings within the last year;
- must be at least 17 yrs of age (or 16 yrs of age with a signed parental consent form from the Community Blood Bank); and
- must have a photo I.D.
For more information about giving blood, visit the Community Blood Bank online.
