Blood Mobile visits Apple Signs

January 29, 2008 - On January 29, Anne Arundel Medical Center’s Blood Mobile parked in front of Apple Signs’ Millersville office and gave out t-shirts, stickers and treats to employees and their families who donated blood throughout the morning.

Each year 3,000 patients at AAMC receive life-saving blood transfusions. That’s nearly 7,300 units of blood needed each year in our community. Because there is no substitute for human blood, these patients are counting on caring people to donate this precious resource.

AAMC’s Blood Donor Center was established more than 30 years ago to serve the residents of the community. The units donated at AAMC’s Blood Donor Center stay in the community to help the people right here to make sure everyone receives the “gift of life” when they need it. In addition to the satisfaction of having made a vital contribution, anyone who donates blood will receive a free mini-physical.

This includes blood pressure, temperature, and blood iron level (for anemia). They can also provide a free cholesterol screening.
