American Red Cross Encourages Blood Donations for Trauma Awareness Month
The American Red Cross encourages the public to schedule their May donation appointment before summer gets into full swing.
Year-end ceremonies, sporting events and celebrations are expected to fill evenings and weekends, but patients are counting on donors to also make blood donations a priority.
Emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time, without a moment's notice. By giving blood to the Red Cross, donors can help ensure blood is ready for patients in the most critical situations.
Give blood or platelets during "Trauma Awareness Month" to keep hospitals prepared for all transfusion needs including emergencies. Type O blood donors and donors giving platelets are especially needed right now.
Make blood donation a priority in May and help accident victims and other patients in critical situations. Schedule a time to give now by visiting "RedCrossBlood.org" calling 1-(800)-RED-CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
