Hunterdon Medical Center Needs Blood Donors
   Every day lives are saved because of blood donors in our community. In fact, 70% of the blood used at Hunterdon Medical Center comes from donors in the county. Blood that is drawn at Hunterdon Medical Center is used for patients in the hospital. The hospital depends heavily on regular volunteer blood donors to maintain an adequate and safe blood supply.
    Blood is used for accident victims, newborn babies and their mothers who need transfusions, people undergoing surgery, patients receiving treatment for cancer and other diseases. Donors must be 17 years old or older, weigh at least 110 lbs, must present identification with signature and be in good health.
    During the month of November, blood donors will receive a free guest pass to the Hunterdon Health and Wellness Center, which can be used at either the new Clinton location or at the Whitehouse Station facility. Donate blood today, to schedule an appointment call 908-788-6405 or stop by the blood donor office Monday-Thursday 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. The Laboratory is located on the 3rd floor of Hunterdon Medical Center.
