CCH encourages you to give blood

Did you know that blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter, especially January, due to the holidays, travel schedules, bad weather and illness.

Every day about 39,000 units of blood are required in for patients with cancer and other diseases, for organ transplants and to help save the lives of accident victims.

For those who don't know, January is National Blood Donor Month. All of us at Campbell County Health urge you to consider giving blood this month at a local blood drive in our community. Visit www.bloodhero.com to see what local blood drives are scheduled.
