Holyoke Medical Center is actively seeking blood donors
HOLYOKE Holyoke Medical Center is actively seeking blood donors. The center's Blood Bank depends on area residents, their friends and neighbors to help meet the transfusion needs of the local community.
As a special incentive, if you donate blood during the months of July or August, you will receive a six-pack of the famous Rollies Root Beer from the Holyoke-based Paper City Brewery! This delicious homemade root beer provides a sweet sip of summer! Don't miss your chance to help save lives and support a local business at the same time.
More than 50 percent of the blood needed by patients at the medical center comes from people living in Holyoke, Chicopee, South Hadley and the surrounding communities, and blood supplies continue to be low. Shortages persist in all categories and emergency supplies from the Red Cross are often limited.
The Blood Bank, located on the first floor of Holyoke Medical Center, is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Appointments are suggested.
For further information or to schedule an appointment, call the Blood Bank at 534 2591.
