Have you been looking for a
reason to get rid of some of the
excess liquid in your system? If
so, the Community Blood Bank
has a relief option for you.
According to Lisa Graff, Donor
Group Coordinator, the Bank will
be holding a drive on Wednesday,
March 31 and Thursday, April 1
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in
the Reed Building Wintergarden.
All donors will receive a hot
dog and soda after donating.

outstanding supporters. During
last fall's drive 127 pints were
drawn from 142 students," said
Graff. "We expect to see even
more students at this event."

Today, transfusion patients rarely
receive whole blood. Instead they
receive the blood component that
will best treat their condition.
This is called Component
Therapy. It allows for better
management of the blood supply
and provides the most effective
treatment for the patient. Burn
patients receive plasma, while
cancer patients receive platelets,
and trauma patients receive red
blood cells. A fourth product
called cryoprecipitate helps
hemophiliacs.
All donors must be between
the ages of 17 and 65, weigh at
least 110 pounds, be in general
health and should eat well within
four hours of giving blood.
