KALAMAZOO (WKZO) — A second bone marrow drive will be held today on behalf of a nurse at Borgess Hospital who now finds himself in need of a special medical procedure.
Nan Meyers says Ben Schmidt will need a transplant to treat Leukemia and this is the best way to help.She says their first drive was successful, but they heard from a lot of people who couldn’t make it, so they are doing it again.
It only takes five minutes to fill out a form and do a quick swab of your gums for DNA testing.
They will have volunteers on hand from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then from 4 to 6 at the Lawrence Education Center on the East Side of the Borgess Medical Center.
