Hospital Receives Recognition from American Red Cross
Holzer Medical Center was recently named the Top Hospital in the
Greater Alleghenies Blood Service Region by the American Red Cross.
This honor was given to HMC due to the monthly community Red Cross
Blood Drives held at the Hospital, always on the first Wednesday of
the month. 
The Red Cross collected 350 units at these blood drives during
2007.
"We wouldn't be successful without the support of the employees and
the community," stated Beverly Smith, MT, HMC Blood Bank Supervisor.
"Those individuals who give their time, and the volunteers who staff
the drive, are essential to the events. We are very grateful
to everyone who plays a part in our drives."
The Greater Alleghenies Region consists of over 100 Hospitals in six
states, including Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
and West Virginia.
All blood types are collected during the monthly drives and the
community is encouraged to donate. The next American Red Cross
Blood Drive will be Wednesday, June 4th at Holzer Medical Center.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to fast prior to my blood work?
It depends on what the physician ordered. Usually the physician will
explain how long he wants you to be fasting prior to your draw.
During your fast, you may only drink water. Tests that typically
require fasting are lipid panels, glucose, and hemoglobin A1C.
Can I get my results?
Yes but only if you sign a release. The registration personnel can
give you the form to sign as you are being registered. Then you can
either wait for your results or pick them up at your convenience.
For your protection, we are not allowed to give results out over the
phone.
Will the results be sent to my physician?
If your physician works in our facility, your results will print
directly to his office. If your physician is not in our facility, we
will fax the results to his/her office.
