Why should I give?
As an employee of Methodist, I also would like to share my personal experience. Back in 1984, when I was 12 yrs. old, my life was saved by a blood donor. My appendix ruptured and I was admitted to the hospital and rushed into surgery. Due to complications during the surgery, I lost so much blood that a transfusion was required to save my life. If it weren't for the many generous blood donors, I would not be alive today! Now, I too am a blood donor and on the giving end, instead of the receiving end. To all of those donors, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Have you ever been the recipient of a blood donation or tissue transplant? Would you also like to donate back to the community? The requirement is a 12-month deferral since the blood or tissue transplant. If you would like to donate, please call Jeri Doran at 672-5775 to schedule an appointment to donate.
