Presbyterian Church of Novato Blood Drive
We are proud to be serving Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland. As one of the oldest pediatric medical centers on the west coast, Children’s Hospital provides comprehensive inpatient/outpatient and specialty clinics for patients with chronic pain, lung disease, bone disease, and brain injury – as well as being a National Center for Sickle Cell Disease.
The need for blood is universal and can affect any member of our community, but children can be some of the most critical patients.
Please donate at this upcoming event so that your blood may be available for many of the children served by the 44 Northern CA hospitals that we support. These are just a few who recently received a second-chance-at-life through the generosity of a blood donor like you:
18 year old male Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) given 4 pints O-
2 day old baby boy Congenital Heart Defect given 1 quad O+
10m old baby girl Open Heart Surgery given 2 pints A+
