BRUNSWICK, Georgia: July 29, 2010– It is summer vacation season and
that means more of us are on the nation’s highways, which can lead
to more traffic accidents. Did you know a single car accident victim could
require as many as 100 units of blood? You can become a real-life hero
and save the lives of up to three people by giving blood at the American
Red Cross blood drive scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 5, at the Southeast
Georgia Health System Brunswick Campus, 2415 Parkwood Drive. The drive
will be held in the Linda S. Pinson Conference Center, located on the
first floor, from 1-6 p.m. Donors participating in donating blood or platelets
will be eligible to win a $1,000 gift card. Free valet parking is available
until 4 p.m. Please remember to bring a photo ID. For more information,
call 912-466-5160. For a complete listing of upcoming Health System events,
