Blood donors save lives.
It’s that simple. Blood is
necessary for life, and it isn’t like cold
medicine or aspirin – there is no substitute and
we can’t just create it when it’s needed. Blood
is only available when a volunteer blood donor
provides that gift of life for another person. |
Every day, patients in
Marshall Medical Center need blood. There are as many
different types of patients who need it as there are reasons
for blood transfusions.
Blood
is needed by teenagers in car in accidents, mothers
experiencing complications during childbirth, fathers
undergoing heart surgery, children with leukemia, premature babies with tiny lungs, grandparents with
severe anemia, firefighters burned in the line of duty
and many others.
Marshall
Community Blood Center is proud to be partnering with donors
like C.W. from El Dorado to meet the needs of patients in
our community.
...."I was
a first time donor (Jan '05) and the staff at the Center
were
very friendly. It was my contribution to El Dorado County
and I would donate again."
It is
through the generous blood donations of people like C.W.
that Marshall Community Blood Center is able to be the sole provider of blood to the patients in
Marshall Medical Center.
Blood is
amazing. It keeps us alive and allows each of us the
opportunity to give to others the gift to help them heal and
to live. Each and every day, the lives of patients in
Marshall Medical Center are saved because a complete
stranger cared enough to donate a single pint of blood. You
may not always see their faces, but the adults and children
helped by your gift of blood are very real. And they are
very grateful.
The need
for blood is continuous. Please help us to keep up with the
demand. Your blood is precious. Keep it here, local and
available, by donating at Marshall Community Blood Center.
