Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists Holds 6th Annual Blood Drive on January 17th

Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists are teaming up with the Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Chapter of the American Red Cross for our 6th Annual Blood Drive to be held from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm on January 17th, 2014. According to Dr. Levin, an endodontist practicing with B-CC Root Canal Specialists, “The Red Cross typically sees a decline in donations during the winter holiday season.”

Individuals can help the Red Cross and hospital patients during January while discovering the true meaning of the season by giving a generous gift of a blood or platelet donation. Each donation made can help save up to three lives. “Hospital patients don’t get a holiday from needing blood and platelets,” said Steve Mavica, spokesperson for the Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Blood Services Region. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. On average, the Red Cross must collect 15,000 pints of blood every day to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,700 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. Blood donations are used to treat cancer patients, trauma victims, premature babies and those living with chronic blood diseases each and every day.

According to Dr. Anastasia Mischenko, also practicing with B-CC Root Canal Specialists, “this blood drive is part of our ongoing efforts to honor and provide for the members of our community.” Please join us by visiting our website, www.endocc.com, by calling our office to schedule an appointment at 301-654-6077 or by emailing angelawang@endocc.com.
