The incentive program seeks to attract new donors and combat summer blood shortages.
New and returning blood donors will receive a pass for a round of golf at one of four local golf courses. In past years, RWJUH Somerset and the Park Commission limited the program to August.
“We’re grateful for the Park Commission’s generosity. The golf incentive has been a great success over the years in attracting many new donors,” Christia Keyte, the hospital’s blood services supervisor, said in a news release emailed to Becker’s. “Expanding the incentive to include July has the potential to raise interest and awareness of the hospital’s need and increase donations during a time when supplies run the risk of becoming critically low.”
All blood donations will be used to treat patients at RWJUH Somerset.
