Hersonissos, Greece, June 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- There were a total of 40 participants. The donation was held under the auspices of Venizelio Pananeio-General Hospital of Heraklion.

The donation is a tangible social contribution, which is very important for the family of Creta Maris Beach Hotel, as evidenced by the immense participation of employees οf the hotel. This year for the first time participants who wished had the opportunity to donate bone marrow making one more step to help a person in need.

The strong response of staff resulted in the annual establishment of the blood donation program and in the creation of a Blood Bank in Venizelio Hospital of Heraklion. This serves dozens of surgeries and serious incidents which Hotel employees and first grade relatives also have access to when needed.
