World Blood Donor day is June 14, and the American Red Cross is joining blood centers around the world in reminding eligible donors that giving blood year-round is vital to ensuring a sufficient blood supply to meet patient needs.
No matter the season, the need for blood is constant. Every two seconds someone in the US needs a transfusion, and around 44,000 pints of blood must be donated every day to meet patient needs.
To emphasize the importance of giving blood year-round, and timed with World Blood Donor Day on June 14, the American Red Cross encourages those eligible to become regular donors, especially during the summer.
Summer is a challenging time to collect enough blood donations to meet patient needs. If at least two more donors give blood at every Red Cross blood drive this summer-above what's expected-it will help ensure blood is available for patients at a moment's notice.
A stable blood supply is vital for treating trauma victims, cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, premature babies, sickle cell disease patients and many others.
UPCOMING BLOOD DONATION OPPORTUNITIES IN CASS COUNTY:
June 13 from 1-7pm at Gibson Hall, 101 W Eldora Ave., Weeping Water
