As winter settles in, the need for blood donations becomes more urgent. Donors’ generosity helps patients - especially those undergoing surgery, trauma care, cancer treatment, and emergency care - ensuring that blood is available when its needed most.
Blood has a short shelf life. Regular donations are essential to ensure blood is available when it’s needed most. Consider saving the date for both of our upcoming blood drives.
