DONATIONS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED. Close to 2,000 men, women, and children in our community, including cancer, transplant, and surgery patients, trauma victims, newborn babies, and many others need blood transfusions every day. Since blood only lasts 42 days, area hospitals are in real need. You can change that. One pint of donated blood is separated into components that can save several lives. Please consider making a donation and giving the gift of life. Thank you.
For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call Human Resources at (516) 463-6859 or email HumanResources@hofstra.edu; walk-ins are also welcome!
