Linden Ponds Holds Blood Drive for Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Hospital

Linden Ponds held a blood drive for Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Hingham, MA – Linden Ponds held a blood drive for Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Over 40 Linden Ponds’ residents and employees turned out to give blood and 25 units of blood were collected.

“Dana Farber called us as they were in need for a blood drive, said Betty O’Reilly, Sr. HR Manager, Linden Ponds. “Many companies had to cancel their previously scheduled blood drives due to high snow banks so we were happy to help them out. The Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s blood mobile was located in front of our Derby Clubhouse and it turned out to be our most successful blood drive so far. Linden Ponds’ resident Bernie Garrett showed up in his sunshine costume to sing and thank donors.”
