Brooklyn - State Senator Marty Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) today partnered with Coney Island Hospital to sponsor a community blood drive at his district office located at 7408-5th Avenue.

Senator Marty Golden stated, “There is a such a great demand for blood in our community and in our City that reports indicate that every three seconds, someone needs blood. That is why I am proud to have welcomed Coney Island Hospital's blood mobile unit to the neighborhood so to give residents the opportunity to give the “Gift of Life” and donate blood to help their fellow New Yorkers in their time of need.”

Those interested in donating blood in the future should call Coney Island Hospital directly at (718) 616-4460 to make a donor appointment.
