Red Cross Blood Drive in Marshfield Today

Monday, October 14th, 2013 -- 7:14 AM

-October is Liver Awareness Month, and the American Red Cross reminds eligible donors that organ transplant patients often rely on donated blood products. Liver transplant patients may need 30 or more transfusions during the surgery.

Recently, a liver transplant patient at a hospital served by the Red Cross was treated with more than 75 units of red blood cells, platelets and plasma.

Liver transplants are the second most common transplant, with more than 6,000 performed every year in the U.S. and more than 16,000 Americans are currently waiting for a liver transplant, according to the American Liver Foundation.

There will be a blood drive in Marshfield today, October 14th, from 11am to 5pm at the Eagles Club.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
