Health and Fitness : BLOOD DONORS ARE COMMUNITY HEROES

It takes less than one hour to donate blood and in that one hour, blood donors will do more than most will do in a lifetime – they will save lives. Just one blood donation will help save the lives of up to three different hospital patients.

 Over 90 percent of the population will need a blood transfusion at some point in their life. Pay it forward now by giving a lifesaving blood donation and be a community hero. Schedule your appointment at an upcoming blood drive.

Virginia Gay Hospital and Vinton Community Blood Drive, Friday, March 13, 2015 from 1:00 PM - 5:30 PM at Virginia Gay Hospital, 502 N 9th Ave.
