Bloodmobile To
Visit Hero
Tuesday
Yancey County will be
visited Tuesday, August 18,
by the Red Cross Bloodmo
bile from the Regional Offi
ce in Asheville- '
The quota for this visit is
100 pints and a total of 400
for the year. The Burnsville
Methodist WSCB is in charge
of the c&nteen; Dr. Urquhart
will be the attending physi
cian; a registered nurse will
also be on hand.
According to a release
from the Asheville Regional
Blood Center of the Ameri
can National Red Cross, new
policies and procedures of
N. C. Baptist Hospital, Win
ston-Salem, will go into ef
fect Sept. 1, as follows: In
the past the hospital has ap
proved blood usage for resi
dents of the Asheville region,
whether or not they had
blood coverage, or had made
replacements. They are no
longer able to do this, and.
effective Sept. 1, 1988. blood
usage at this hospital will
be approved only for those
Asheville region residents
who hold, current blood cre
dit cards, or who have made
replacement of blood in the
quantity, and, in some cas
es, the type required.
The Asheville Blood Center
is attempting to make ar
rangements with Baptist
Hospital so that they will
have advance notide of these
needs when such notice is
available, the appropriate
chapter will be Informed so
that action can be taken to
arrange for preplacement,
or credit coverage can be
confirmed. It is feared that
advance notice will not be
available from the hospital
in many, if not most, cases.
It will be necessary there
fore, for the local chapter
to make arrangements with
the physicians and hospitals
in their area to keep them
informed of patients when
they are referring to Bap
tist Hospital.
Because of increased out
of-region usage and other
factors, the Asheville B’ood
Center has fallen seriously
in debt to the Central Ex
change Rvstem. In oHer to
reverse th<s trend and pay
off this indebtedness, it is
necessary that blood collec
tions be increased.
