Critical Need for Blood Following Storm

Unyts urges WNY to donate blood for local patients in local hospitals

 

After being forced to cancel blood drives this week due to the storm, Unyts is urging the community to donate blood TODAY. Demand at our local hospitals has increased and a strong turnout by donors is critical to ensure we have blood available for patients in the WNY community. To make an appointment, call 512-7940 or visit http://www.unyts.org and click on Give Blood.

I also think this is a good place to post this, just as a little extra incentive:

 

Benefits of Bloodletting

 

Included among the possible benefits for the DONOR:

 

May help stave of illnesses

May reduce risk for cancer

Reduces hardening of the arteries and heart attack risk

May improve insulin sensitivity, thus decreasing risk for type 2 diabetes

Burns calories (an average of about 650 per donation)

Regularly purging yourself of iron is particularly beneficial for men’s health
