The PCDO Organizing for America Committee will host a blood drive at the University Medical center at Princeton, 253 Witherspoon Street on May 16 from 9am -2pm.

 

The University Medical Center at Princeton's Blood Donor Program plays a key role in the care that the hospital provides. Each year, the hospital transfuses 3,500 units of blood to adults and children. Their goal is to collect enough blood through their community based donor program to meet the needs of patients.

The need for blood transfusion support to patients is a never-ending challenge. One unit of blood saves three lives.

Anyone who is 17 years of age and in good health can donate blood. If you are over 70 years of age you need a note from your physician to donate. Sign up for your appointment time and allow for one hour of your time to save lives in the community.

 

 

To sign up for a time-slot online visit the OFA website or you can contact Jenny Crumiller and let her know when you want to come in -time slots are in 15 minute increments.

At the Suzanne Patterson Center

- Health Care Reform -

Is this any way for an Advanced Western Society to treat its people?

Momentum is building to finally do something about the abysmal state of U.S. Health Care Policy, but what should be done and what can be done is still in question.

Please join us for a panel discussion on the Obama administration's initiative to provide universal health care access to the American public, why some experts feel his proposals are too ambitious considering the myriad challenges facing the U.S. economy today and others think the Administration=92s plan doesn't go far enough.


Speakers will include representatives from advocacy groups, the medical field, and we hope from the legislative branch.
