Donate Blood at Glendale Adventist Medical Center on April 14

WHAT:

Glendale Adventist Medical Center in partnership with the American Red Cross will hold a community blood drive on April 14.  Everyone is encouraged to donate blood. Blood is often in short supply, especially around the holidays and during summer months. The good news is people can donate often – every eight weeks in some cases.

WHY:

Donating blood is quick, safe and relatively painless. It’s also really important. Nearly 41,000 units of blood are needed in American hospitals and emergency facilities every day. And just one donation can help save the lives of up to three people.

Among other things, the blood donated can be used to help someone who’s:

·         Undergoing chemotherapy

·         Been injured in a car crash or a fire

·         Getting an organ transplant

·         Having a baby

·         Having surgery
