January Is a Time to Recognize Blood Donors
This month, we are recognizing and thanking the donors who give blood to help save lives. Every year, I get a chance to sit down with some of our donors and help tell their stories. You’ll hear from some of them this year in The Insider newsletter, emails, calendar, or on our website.
Keeping Families Together for the Holidays
Before you get ready to spend time with your family for the holidays, help patients who won’t be able to spend time with their families this year by giving blood. Make an appointment and help save lives this holiday season!
Celebrating Black History
Dr. Drew and his efforts paved the way for Black donors, whose donations can help treat illnesses that disproportionately affect Black people, such as sickle cell disease. More than 100 million people worldwide have the sickle cell trait, and 1 in 3 Black blood donors are a match for a sickle cell patient. Sickle cell patients rely on regular monthly blood transfusions to stay healthy.
