Blood Bank Depends on Volunteers
What do 74 high school students, Channel 7 person-
nel, members of the Bronco football team and many
Saint Joseph Hospital employees have in common?
All were recently named "VIP's" by the hospital
blood bank after donating blood to help replenish a
dwindling supply. The large turnout not only filled
up the shelves, but enabled the blood bank to send
some surplus to other hospitals in short supply.
"We seldom have enough blood," said blood bank
supervisor Sandy Harrison, explaining that the hospi-
tal builds up credits by giving excess units of blood to
other hospitals in need. When Saint Joseph is running
low, those hospitals may then be tapped to boost our
supply.
Bronco players, trainers and coach John Ralston gave
blood after assistant coach "Doc" Urich underwent
heart surgery. Central Catholic high school students
became enthusiastic about giving blood after hearing
about the need for blood from auxilian Kay Gutru,
who is active in the blood bank program. Her
daughter, Sharon, teaches home economics at the
school and organized the drive.
The mobile unit sent to the school was kept busy all
day drawing blood from 74 students, and the success
made blood bankers enthusiastic about going to other
high schools. All 17-year olds needed permission from
their parents, while 18-year olds were required to
show proof of age.
Saint Joseph hospital staffers responded to a plea for
help after 13 open heart surgeries were scheduled
