Sturdy Memorial Hospital to Hold Blood Drive Thursday, June 11

Posted

Attleboro, MA, June 3, 2020 – Sturdy Memorial Hospital will be holding a Blood Drive in partnership with the Rhode Island Blood Center on Thursday, June 11 from 7:30 am – 4 pm in the Hospital Auditorium. Due to COVID-19, donor and staff safety will be a priority, with increased protocols for cleaning, social distancing, and screening. Appointments are strongly encouraged and walk-ins will only be accepted if safe spacing permits at the time of arrival.

Each donation you make can treat up to three people and will help alleviate the region’s seasonal blood shortage. While emergencies and disasters capture the attention of our community and prompt people to respond by donating, the need for blood donations is ongoing. Donating regularly is something we can do to ensure blood is always available the instant it is needed, and for people who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell anemia, and other illnesses, as well as those who need regular blood transfusions to live.

All donors will be entered in a raffle. Refreshments will be provided. To schedule an appointment for the Sturdy Memorial Blood Drive, call 508-236-8555 or visit www.sturdymemorial.org. Donors need to be at least 17 years of age and at least 110 pounds, and the process takes approximately one hour.
