YOU CARRY WITHIN YOU A LIFE-SAVING POWER THAT IS SO EASY TO SHARE. By becoming a blood donor, you can impact up to 3 lives in just 45 minutes! It's that easy!
About 1 in 7 people who enter a hospital need blood. The need for blood is so high that every two seconds, someone in the U.S. has a need that often goes unmet. All it takes is one pint to be a superhero. Your superpower donation can positively impact lives in a multitude of ways. One pint of blood can be separated into several life-saving components:
- Red blood cells
- Plasma,
- Platelets
- Cryoprecipitate.
Red blood cells carry oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our bodies. Then they make the return trip, taking carbon dioxide back to our lungs to be exhaled. People with a low red blood cell count can take longer to heal and recover from injury or illness. Plasma is a pale yellow mixture of water, proteins, and salts. Platelets promote blood clotting and give those with leukemia and other cancers a chance to live. Give others a chance to live, donate and become a SUPERHERO!
As a donor, you will have the opportunity to know exactly where your donations are used. You will see the city, state, and hospital your helpful donation ends up.
