Every two seconds, someone needs blood. This year alone, as many as five million patients will require blood transfusions, as accident victims, people undergoing surgery, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer and other diseases.
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley recently issued a statement encouraging Marylanders to give blood:
?Particularly following the holiday season, when donations typically decline, it is important to make blood donation a habit,? states Governor O?Malley. ?It is our civic responsibility to ensure that our friends, neighbors and even ourselves and members of our own families can rely on a stable blood supply should they require a transfusion. There is no such thing as a spare Marylanders and therefore all Marylanders are encouraged to learn more about giving blood and schedule a donation appointment by calling 1-800-GIVE LIFE.?
The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive at Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital in Baltimore on Monday, Feb. 16, in the Schwaber Multi-Purpose Room, from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. By donating one pint of blood, you can help save three lives. To set up an appointment in advance, call Janine Boulad at 410-601-2260.
