Each day blood donors serve as a lifeline to cancer patients, newborn babies, surgical patients, accident or trauma victims, dialysis patients and those with chronic anemia or blood disorders.
The aging baby boomer and World War II generations are receiving advanced medical care that often requires blood transfusions. As the increased usage of blood continues, new blood donors are needed more than ever before.
At this time there is no artificial substitute for human blood - it is truly the gift of life that can be given by a healthy person to someone in need.
