G&A held its first blood drive at the New Britain office on January 14th. Thank you to our employees for participating; 31 successful whole blood pints were collected, and this translates to 31+ lives saved!We look forward to hosting another MKBC blood drive soon.
G&A’s blood drive donations go directly to one of the 26 hospitals that Miller-Keystone Blood Center solely supports. MKBC is a not-for-profit, 501 (c) (3) community organization that serves as the only blood provider to 26 hospitals in Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Lehigh, Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, and Schuylkill (PA), and Hunterdon and Warren (NJ) counties; only blood donated through MKBC is transfused at these facilities.
- Every 2 seconds, someone in the United States requires a blood transfusion.
- The gift of blood is the gift of life. There is no substitute for human blood.
- 8 million Americans would die each year without life saving blood transfusions.
- One out of every 7 people entering a hospital needs blood.
