In Menory Of Blood Drive
Hi, My name is Viviana Monteiro, and I am a Donor Recruitment Account Representative for the American Red Cross. I am reaching out to you, because we are running a blood drive on Tuesday, July 3rd in your area at the Holiday Inn Mansfield. We are looking for support from the town on getting donors to donate as we are in critical need for blood donations. With many donors vacationing and schools that host blood drives on break, summer is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood donations to meet patient needs. KEY MESSAGES - Do you know someone who has never donated before? Please encourage them to make an appointment. - Eligible donors with types O, B negative or A negative blood are encouraged to make a Power Red donation at this blood drive. Power Red donors give a concentrated dose of red blood cells during a single donation, allowing them to maximize their impact. During this type of donation, red blood cells are separated from other blood components, and the plasma and platelets are safely and comfortably returned to the donor. - Type O negative is the universal blood type and what emergency personnel reach for in trauma situations when there isn’t time to determine a patient’s blood type. o Type O positive is the most common blood type and can be transfused to Rh-positive patients of any blood type. o Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or negative patients. There are many ways to support if you are not able to donate, such as posting a message on the your local website, social media, or encourage friends and family, this makes a big impact.
