One of the most important points to any successful surgery is the usage of blood transfusions. Blood, though seemingly common, almost in excess, is sometimes very hard to come by. With a lack of donors in recent times, it has been stressful for all those involved. Personally, I am a donor, and have been getting frequent emails from the heart association begging for donations.
On Feb. 5, at the Hamburg Area High School, students, faculty, and the community are offered a chance to help those in need. Those interested in donating can find the blood drive personnel in the first parking lot coming up on Windsor Street from Hamburg. This is the student parking lot. Two blood buses will be at the school from 8 a.m., and they will be taking donors until 4:30 p.m. All donors are welcome, especially those of a rarer blood type. Complimentary snacks and monitoring will be given afterward to ensure that the best care is given. For more information, contact Miss McCarthy, 610-562-3861.
