NEWS RELEASE
CANADIAN BLOOD SERVICES
***********************
Canadian Blood Services is calling on eligible blood donors to help fill 35,000 appointments by Jan. 6 to ensure that Canadian patients continue to have access to the blood and blood products they need over the holidays.
The Elliot Lake Blood Donor Clinic takes place on Tuesday, Jan. 2 from 4-8 p.m. at the Collins Hall and we still have 27 spots to fill. New and existing donors are welcome and walk-ins will be accepted. Please share the attached poster with your co-workers, family and friends and encourage them to donate blood on Jan. 2.
The holiday period always presents challenges for us as we work to ensure we have enough blood and blood products to meet patients’ needs. We know that you are busy with travel and activities over the holidays, and we hope that you will make time to save a life and give blood. Patients’ lives depend on you.
A brief time spent donating blood can give a patient a lifetime of possibilities.
