SGCMH to sponsor blood drive June 30                   6/17/09
Blood donations typically decrease across the nation during the summer months. In the summer, families tend to take vacations out of town, enjoy the hot weather and are focused on summer fun.
“Summer is also the time of year that we see the most accidents and traumas due to the use of summer "toys" (all terrain vehicles, motorcycles, dirt bikes, etc.),” said Jean Otte, Director of Lab Services at Ste. Genevieve County Memorial Hospital. “These traumas require large quantities of blood to be on hand so that we can provide the best possible care for our patients. This is why we’re requesting the community to donate blood.”
The hospital has a blood drive scheduled for Tuesday, June 30 from noon to 5:00 p.m. in the hospital conference center.        full text
