Wellness Wednesday – Spots remain for Monday blood drive

picture disc.About 10 donation slots remain open for UNMC’s holiday blood drive, which will be held Monday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Center for Healthy Living in the Student Life Center.

The campus goal for the drive is 38 units of blood.

The Red Cross has an electronic scheduling system that will be used for this drive. Those wishing to donate can schedule appointments for the drive at http://givebloodgivelife.org.












Blood donation a great way to give



Give the perfect gift this holiday, something that is truly meaningful and always appreciated. In some circumstances, blood donors literally give someone something that they could not live without. Watch a video from the Red Cross about blood donation.
