Historical November 1976 health reporting. Dates, fees, recommendations and first-aid instructions are reproduced from the original issue, not current medical advice or service announcements.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at St. Roch’s Church Saturday, November 6, 1976.
Your donation of a unit of blood provides the blood that you and your household (including parents, parents-inlaw, grandparents, and grand-parents-inlaw) may use for one year from the date of donation in any hospital in the U.S., which will accept the transfer of Red Cross blood.
Every eight minutes, a hospitalized patient needs a blood transfusion. The availability of that person’s blood type immediately, when it is needed, makes the difference between life and death. What better reason is there for you to lend a unit of blood to a person in need now?
Please call St. Roch’s School 721- 2595—St. Roch’s Rectory 721-6340 or 727-1727 or Rose Storey for pledge cards. Blood donors are scheduled every 15 minutes from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Remember Saturday, November 6 is the day.
