              Extra Clothing Needed
Have you heard of the Elvis Presley Burning Love Memorial Clothing
Boutique? If s located in the Emergency Department and is used to outfit
patients whose clothing has been cut off or destroyed. The boutique is in
desperate need of loose fitting and warm clothes. Sweatshirts and sweat
pants, footwear, socks and coats are especially needed. Articles that are
not suitable for the Hospital are donated to local charities so nothing is
wasted. If you have any questions, please call Nancy Allison, propri-
etress, at extension, 7240.
Don't Forget to Donate During the
Holidays ~
The number of blood donors typically decreases during the months of
December and January. During the holiday season please remember the
patients and make an effort to donate blood.
The Hospital employee blood drive is Thursday, December 30 from
6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If your schedule does not permit you to donate
blood on that day, please call extension 7193 to arrange a more conve-
nient time to donate.
Donors still are needed for cancer patients. Please consider becoming
an apheresis donor for 1994. The donor room has a state-of-the-art Cobe
Apheresis machine which decreases the donor time and yields higher
numbers of platelets per donor. Call Jean Mullen at extension 7424 to
find out more about this special program.
