INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we examine some of the efforts of Michigan Blood – the local nonprofit blood bank that provides for 36 hospitals in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.

In studio is Meredith Gremel, director of Public Relations and Marketing for MI Blood, who explains the critical need in the local blood and bone marrow supply, the essentials of blood diversification and all that can be done with a single donated pint of blood.

Music in this edition of Catalyst Radio is from Peter Gabriel’s disc New Blood, featuring the song “In Your Eyes.”
