“The partnership between New York Hospital Queens and the Deepdale Gardens Community Council has been strong over the past twenty years,” Padavan said. “This annual community blood drive is an example of giving back and volunteering on behalf of the entire Queens community. I urge everyone who can to head down to the Samuel Field Y this Sunday and donate the gift of life by giving blood.”
