Garnet Health Medical Center to Host Blood Drive

MIDDLETOWN, NY — Garnet Health Medical Center’s Level II Trauma Center and Emergency Department is partnering with the New York Blood Center (NYBC) to host a blood drive on Tuesday, Aug. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 707 East Main Street, Middletown, NY 10940, Conference Rooms 1, 2 and 3. The event aims to combat the ongoing blood shortage that typically worsens in the summer months.

Blood donations tend to drop due to travel and school breaks, so blood drives are especially crucial in the summer. In addition, there’s often an increase in accidents and trauma cases. Patients undergoing surgery, receiving cancer treatment or living with a chronic condition rely on regular blood transfusions, no matter the time of year.

Garnet Health Medical Center’s Level II Trauma Center and Emergency Department has a firsthand understanding of just how important blood donations can be, as many of the patients they care for rely on blood transfusions during life-threatening situations. They are committed to providing all patients with exceptional care, which is why they’ve partnered with NYBC, one of the largest nonprofit blood collection and distribution organizations, to help meet the ongoing demand. Together, they share a common goal: to ensure lifesaving blood is always available for those who need it most.

Help save lives in the community. Schedule your donation today at donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/333122  or call (917) 710-9139 if you have any questions or concerns.

Today, it boasts seven floors of state-of-the-art technology, provides 383 beds and employs over 2,400 healthcare professionals. More than 600 doctors have privileges at the hospital and treat thousands of area families, friends and neighbors. In addition to the main hospital, we also provide several outpatient services, including diagnostic imaging and laboratory services.
