Greetings fellow New Jersey nursing students! My name is Carolyn and I am your 2011-2012 Community Health Director! I am thrilled to announce the board has elected to invite DKMS Americas: Where Leukemia Meets Its Match as our 2011-2012 Community Health Project! DKMS Americas is a non-profit organization which enlists volunteers to become potential bone marrow donors. DKMS Americas facilitates the cost, process and paperwork required to become listed on the Be The Match Registry. 

We are excited to incorporate DKMS Americas this year at our fantastic COSP event on October 8, 2011 in Trenton with information on the organization, the bone marrow donation process, and ways you can host your own bone marrow drive on your local campus. DKMS Americas will also be involved at our annual convention in February 2012 at Bally’s Atlantic City. Please look for more information on our Community Health Project. You can visit getswabbed.org.
