MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Every two seconds, someone needs blood, platelets, or plasma to survive. These patients depend on blood donors to roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life.
WVU Medicine J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital is hosting a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, April 24, in the Bruce McClymonds Conference Center. The event supports Central Blood Bank, J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital’s supplier for blood products.
Every participating donor who mentions the code TRAVEL MUG will receive a stainless steel travel mug, while supplies last.
