* The American Red Cross Blood Service-New England Region has an exemplary regulatory and safety record.
* Blood donated through the American Red Cross Blood Services-New England Region can be made available to anyone, anywhere it is needed. The New England Region sent 600 units of blood to New York City in the wake of 9/11. Red Cross blood donors are truly a part of "Blood Without Borders."
* The mission of the American Red Cross Blood Services-New England Region is saving lives. Our bottom line is our patients.
Often signs are posted at road intersections in Dedham asking for donations.
This is the location where all the blood drives in the region are coordinated, as well as where the blood and other products are distributed.
To get there, from Route 128, take the exit north toward Dedham (nearby is the television studios for Channel 25, Fox Network). At the next intersection, turn right onto Elm Street. Take a left at the sharp turn (the road turns to Rustcraft Road). A large complex will be visible about a half mile on your right. Look for signs for the Red Cross.
