Share Einstein’s Heart: Give the Gift of Life
On Tuesday, February 5, 2019, members of the Einstein community will again have the opportunity to participate in the Winter Blood Drive, held in coordination with the New York Blood Center (NYBC).
This past August, 100 Einstein blood donors provided 114 units of blood; 14 of those donors utilized Alyx technology to safely donate double the amount of red blood cells.
“Our community members really stepped up to the plate in record numbers to help provide much-needed blood resources,” said Robert Cancellieri, director of employee relations and blood drive chair. “We’re hoping to see similar participation on February 5. You can really make a difference with this gift of life.”
As a result of the August donations, “340 patients will benefit from the efforts of the Einstein community,” said Tina Rivera, the NYBC’s account manager.
