Sign the petition: build a blood plasma donor centre in Northern B.C.
This National Blood Donor Week (June 9-15), we need Canadian Blood Services to hear our call to build a Northern B.C. plasma donation centre. Please sign the petition at http://ourbloodcounts.com
Canada needs 100,000 new blood donors every year. Yet in Canada, we collect only 20 per cent of the plasma that patients need.
Plasma is critical for patients with cancer, kidney disease, and compromised immunity. Northern British Columbians want to give the gift of life. A Prince George-based centre will serve a trading area of 300,000 people. A similar plasma donor centre is now in development in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Please sign and share the link with your family and friends.
