Imagine your father has just suffered a heart attack and must undergo open-heart surgery in order to repair the damage…
Picture your baby niece or nephew was born with a heart defect and requires daily transfusions of blood in order to have a chance at survival…

Naturally, you’d hope and expect the hospital to have enough resources to facilitate all these health needs and more.

But we aren’t the only ones who need saving. Sometimes, we have to do the saving. Your blood donation is needed; consider your options.
