Nassau Community College (NCC), in conjunction with Nassau University Medical Center, will host its 19th annual Mid-Summer Blood Drive on Wednesday.
The college is continuing its cooperative effort with Nassau University Medical Center to supply a substantial percentage of the blood needs of its trauma center.
The Mid-Summer Blood Drive is held at a time when there are increases in driving accidents and athletic injuries, along with the need for blood products.
“At Nassau Community College we take our community service responsibilities seriously," Dr. Arthur Friedman, co-coordinator of the NCC blood drive said. "The NCC family will do its part to maintain an adequate blood supply."
The blood drive will take place at Nassau Community College's College Center Building at 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Blood donors must be at least 17-years-old and in good health. Donors should come with some personal identification and should eat beforehand.
To make an appointment call Barbara Vollmer at (516)572-7883 or Dr. Arthur Friedman at (516) 572-9922.
