Blood Drive Scheduled
Associates Asked
to Give Gift of Life
During Blood Drive
The annual fall Blood Drive sponsored by
Clinton Mills in cooperation with the Caroli-
na-Georgia Blood Center will be held at
Lydia Sept. 17. During this period associ
ates on all three shifts will be afforded an
opportunity to donate the lifesaving subst
ance for use in area hospitals.
Plant No. 1 and No. 2 associates will be
afforded an opportunity to participate in the
program Dec. 1 and 3.
Clinton Mills, through the Carolina-
Georgia Blood Center, provides unlimited
blood replacements anywhere in the United
States for the employee; employee’s spouse;
and dependents; and if you are single, your
parents and parents’ dependents. Also, re
tired old-timers are eligible.
Sonny King, who coordinates the blood
program, noted that “healthy individuals”
can donate blood every eight weeks.
“The Carolina-Georgia Blood Center pro
vides for unlimited replacement of blood or
blood components but does not cover the
processing fee for collecting, testing, and
preparing the voluntarily contributed blood
for use by the patient. Most hospitalization
insurance carriers and Medicare and Medi
caid cover processing costs,” he added.
Parmaceutical products manufactured
commercially are not replaced by the blood
plan but may be covered by insurance car
riers as medicine or pharmacy items, through,
regular insurance claim procedures.
According to King, over 30 employees and
their families have benefitted from the
Blood Assurance program for many varying
medical purposes.
“We have had requests ranging from sing
le pint replacements up to as many as 21,”
he added, “Our plan assures the employee
that the blood is available when needed.”
