NE Campus will hold its annual blood drive Wednesday, Feb. 14.
“One donation can save many lives,’ Barbara Glenn, NE Campus
nurse, said.
In 1999, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex was short by about 23,000
units and had to import blood from other parts of the United States. Blood
donations have grown, but in 1999 donations decreased, making it even
more important for donations this year.

healthy body to donate blood because it stimulates the production of red
blood cells, according to medical experts.
As North Richland Hills, Bedford, Hurst and surrounding areas contin-
ue to grow so will the need for blood donations, a Carter Blood Care Cen-
ter representative said.
Benefits for the donor consist of a mini physical, which includes cho-
lesterol testing, blood pressure check, pulse, blood typing, iron level test,
and testing for HIV, HTLV, syphilis and infection of hepatitis B and C.
Anyone who donates also becomes a member of the Life Plan and the
Family Life Plan. This plan offers security to those donors when their need
arises. One year after a donation, The Life Plan can defer the cost of blood
transfusions for the donor and his or her dependents.
In order to donate, individuals must meet certain guidelines. Although
there is no maximum age limit, a donor must be 17 years of age, be in good
health and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds. Antibiotics must be completed
24 hours before donating. In addition, donors should eat a full meal within
four hours before and after donating.
Carter Blood Care representatives will be in the Student Center’s Cen-
ter Corner from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
