Ten Mile Rd., Oak Park 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.
