    You must be 18 years
or older and weigh at
least 110 lbs. to do
nate blood.
It only takes 10-20
minutes to actually
donate blood.
You can donate blood
every 56 days (and it
has been 14 weeks
since our last blood
drive so you can give
again!)
5]
Each Blood donation actually helps 5
people becasue the blood is fractionated
into 5 components:
•RED CELLS for surgery and childbirth
•PLATELETS for cancer and leukemia patients
•PLASMA for burn victims
•FACTOR 8, Clotting Factor for hemopheliacs
•BUFFYCOATS for Interferon production
The blood you donate
goes to help people all
over Texas and
across the U.S.A.
Blood costs $30 per
pint. This figure may
be higher depending
on the hospital.

Blood Processing
(testing and cross
matching) costs $35
per pint; however,
most insurance poli
cies cover this ex
pense.
__9|
The Aggie Blood Club
covers the blood
costs (but not the
processing fee) for all
A&M students, fac
ulty, staff, former stu
dents, and all of their
families.

Since Wadley
does not serv
ice St. Joseph
or Humana Hospital,
all blood bills,
including the
processing fee, are
paid in full by Wadlsy
at these hospitals.
