Right here, in this very community, people of all ages are facing the challenges of heart disease. It’s a disease that doesn’t miss a beat, affecting people of all ages and backgrounds – from newborns, to teens, to parents, to senior citizens. And many need blood for emergency or ongoing care.  Now is the perfect time to donate blood through your American Red Cross. All blood types are needed, including type O which is in high demand.  Call the American Red Cross today for your appointment at 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.
