PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY – The Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit (CPU) is encouraging people to give blood at their blood drive on May 28.
May is Trauma Awareness Month, and the American Red Cross is calling for blood donations to ensure blood is available during emergencies when every second matters.
One car crash victim can need as much as 100 units of blood. That’s why the Police Department’s CPU is hosting this blood drive.
This event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at the Paul T. White Jr. Western District Station, 8900 Freedom Center Blvd., Manassas (20110) from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
To sign up, please call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter “Prince William Police CPU” to schedule an appointment. Your blood donation can help ensure that our local trauma centers are prepared the moment an injured patient arrives.

These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
