Mount Clemens Regional to Host Red Cross Blood Drive

Heidi Bitsoli, Neighbor

Mount Clemens Regional Medical Center will host an American Red Cross Blood Drive from 10 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Friday, July 8, 2011, in the pre-function area of the Medical Education Auditorium on the hospital’s lower level (east tower).

Although there is currently a need for all blood types, O-negative is in high demand. In addition A negative and B negative are at critically low levels.

Appointments can be made online by visiting www.redcrossblood.org and clicking on “make a blood donation appointment” and entering Mount Clemens Regional’s sponsor code: mtclemreg. Donors can also make an appointment by calling the American Red Cross of Southeastern Michigan at (877) 505-9527.

Donors must be at least 17 years old, meet certain weight and height requirements and be in good general health. In addition, donors will be asked to present a photo ID or American Red Cross Donor Card.
