Blood clinics on campus next week a chance to give life

Canadian Blood Services reminds UWindsor students, faculty and staff that they have the power to give life to someone in need. It will hold full blood donor clinics in the CAW Student Centre’s Ambassador Auditorium, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on two separate days next week: Monday and Thursday, January 18 and 21.

The donation process, from walking in the door, through screening, collection and recovery, takes only an hour.

For these clinics, Canadian Blood Services will use its appointment system. It encourages donors to book appointments by calling 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Walk-in donors are still welcome but appointments will better accommodate donors’ working schedules.

As with previous clinics, the Department of Human Resources encourages all eligible employees to participate in this worthwhile process and asks any employees who wish to donate to make the necessary arrangements with their supervisors regarding the possibility of extended lunch or break periods.
