SOME FACTS TO REMEMBER:

• SEVERAL GODDARD EMPLOYEES DEPEND ON BLOOD PRODUCTS TO SUSTAIN LIFE
• EACH DONATION COULD POSSIBLY SAVE 3-4 LIVES
• EACH DONATION PRODUCES 7 DIFFERENT BLOOD PRODUCTS
• OUR AREA USES APPROXIMATELY 1,000 UNITS OF BLOOD DAILY

Any healthy person at least l7 years of age can donate every eight weeks, with a minimum weight of 110 lbs. The process of giving blood is always under the supervision of a Medical Unit Supervisor. The procedure includes a medical check, actual donation, and some time for relaxation and refreshments. Please be sure to get sufficient rest the night before and eat a well balanced breakfast and lunch the day you donate. You never know whose life that you may help save.

Thanks for everyone's continued support of our program.
