Cape Cod Healthcare's Blood Mobile will be visiting our CCYP & CCIAOR's office space on May 19th! Get a gift card for Dunkin Donuts when you donate!! Drop by on your lunch break, or after work and help change the life of your neighbor in need.
WHAT'S DONATED HERE, STAYS HERE.
When you donate blood, you give someone the gift of life. It’s one of the easiest ways to make a big difference and help others. And if you donate blood to Cape Cod Healthcare, your donation stays on the Cape to benefit your friends and neighbors rather than being transferred outside our community.
WHY DONATE BLOOD? THE GIFT OF LIFE.
Blood is a need that never goes away. Our local Cape Cod Healthcare hospitals perform more than 7,500 transfusions per year for such things as elective and emergency surgery, anemia, bleeding disorders and massive blood loss due to trauma.
It’s important to know that:
- About one in seven people entering a hospital needs blood
- Red blood cells have a limited shelf life—just 42 days—so they must be constantly replenished
- One pint of blood can save up to two lives
- There is no substitute for human blood
