Why
should I be a blood donor?
People
in your community need your gift of life-- for the parent undergoing a
transplant; for the car accident victim fighting for life; for the child
with leukemia who needs a transfusion. These are only a few examples of
the difference a blood donor can make.
For more
information, call the UTMB Blood Bank at (409) 772-4861.
