Blood Drive In Neillsville
Sunday, August 18th, 2013 -- 8:28 AM
There will be a blood drive here in Neillsville this coming week. It will be at OEM Fabricators on Tuesday, August 20th from 12pm-5pm.While many volunteers generously responded to the emergency call for blood donations from the American Red Cross in July, donors of all blood types, especially O negative, A negative and B negative, are still needed this summer.
Blood products are being distributed to hospitals almost as quickly as donations are coming in.
Blood and platelets are needed for many reasons. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients and organ transplant recipients, as well as those receiving treatment for cancer or sickle cell disease, may depend on lifesaving transfusions. In fact, every two seconds a patient in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion.
