Sturdy Memorial Hospital To Hold Blood Drive - Thursday, June 21
Sturdy Memorial will be holding a Blood Drive in partnership with the Rhode Island Blood Center on Thursday, June 21 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. in the Hospital Auditorium. Each donation you make can treat up to three people and will help alleviate the region’s seasonal blood shortage. Blood is needed for emergencies and for people who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell anemia, and other illnesses, as well as those who need regular blood transfusions to live. Sturdy Memorial is committed to bringing in at least 80 donors for the Blood Drive. People often think they are unable to donate, but many common illnesses and medications do not affect the quality of blood for donation. For example, people with asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, high blood pressure, or people who have had a heart attack, stroke, surgery, vaccines, mononucleosis or tooth extraction, and are recovered, are all eligible to donate. Donors need only be 17 years of age and at least 110 pounds. All donors will receive refreshments and be entered in a raffle. To schedule an appointment for the Sturdy Memorial Blood Drive, call 508-236-8555. The process takes approximately one hour.
