Red Cross Blood Drive in Abbotsford Today
Monday, September 14th, 2015 -- 8:10 AM
-During National Preparedness Month, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood to help ensure a stable and diverse blood supply is available during emergencies of all types.A diverse blood supply is important to ensuring the needs of all patients are met. Red blood cells carry markers that determine one's blood type, and some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups. Because blood from donors of the same ethnic background as the recipient is less likely to cause complications, the Red Cross must maintain a diverse blood supply to meet these diverse patient needs.
You can help by giving blood today at the Abbotsford High School from 12pm-5:30pm.
