    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
     
    Memorial Blood Centers is Calling All Life-Savers
     
    September 14, 2018 (Duluth, MN) – Memorial Blood Centers invites all eligible blood donors to roll up their sleeve and give blood.  Every 2 seconds someone needs blood – from heart transplant and cancer patients to accident victims and premature babies. The need for blood is constant, but the supply is not.
     
    Only 38% of people are eligible to give blood—of that 38%, only about 7% of people do give. Memorial Blood Centers needs volunteer donors to give blood that hospital patients need.  Will you give?
     
    Donating blood is convenient and safe when you are healthy, well and:
     
    • In good health
    • Free of antibiotics for 24 hours, unless taken daily for skin condition
    • Symptom-free for at least 3 days following a cold or a flu
    • 17 years or older—16 with written parental consent (form available at MBC.ORG)
    While walk-in donors are always welcome, we encourage appointments be made in advance. To register for a blood drive, schedule online or contact the sponsoring organization directly.

    Patients in our local hospitals depend on Memorial Blood Centers to be there with the right blood type they need to survive.  All types are needed—especially O negative (O-) and O positive (O+).  It’s also important to keep your appointment—or to call and reschedule.  Your appointments help us plan a stable supply of blood for local hospitals.
