A : When I came to work with my
father, of blessed memory, it was rare
for someone to die at home. Even if a
death took place there, an individual
would often be taken to a hospital to
be pronounced dead. With Hospice
playing a leading role in end of life
today, more than 50 percent of deaths
take place at home among the family.
The combined Young Israel
blood drive assists American
Red Cross in maintaining safe
blood supply levels,
which often become low
during summer months.
An individual donation
can help as many as three
different patients. The
process is safe and easy.
Some restrictions for
donating apply.
