BloodCenter of Wisconsin Blood Drive On Monday
Sunday, December 15th, 2013 -- 9:27 AM
BloodCenter of Wisconsin is asking Clark County residents to save the day for patients by donating blood at its upcoming drive.Donors can make a life-saving gift on Monday, December 16 at Memorial Medical Center in Neillsville. The drive will be held in a new location, the Recreation Room located off of Ferguson Street. The blood drive starts at 11 a.m. and donors will be accepted until 4 p.m.
Donating blood during the holiday season can make a profound impact on patients in the community and beyond. It is a time of year when donations often decrease because of inclement weather and holiday activities.
Just one hour of time can impact someone?s life; a patient dealing with serious injuries, facing surgery or fighting cancer. The generous gift of blood donation could help a patient to feel well enough to take part in activities most people take for granted, such as enjoying the upcoming holidays with loved ones.
Anyone 16 or older who is in general good health and meets eligibility requirements is encouraged to donate blood. Parental consent is required for 16-year-olds to donate. The entire process takes about an hour. Donors should bring a photo ID that includes birth date.
