January Is National Blood Donor Month
January Is National Blood Donor Month
Every day in the U.S., approximately 38,000 units of blood are required in hospitals and emergency treatment facilities for patients with cancer and other diseases, for organ transplant recipients, and to help save the lives of accident victims.
This January, consider donating to help ensure that blood is available to patients whenever and wherever it is needed.
If you are at least 17 years of age (some states permit younger people to donate with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and meet other donor requirements, you may be eligible to donate blood.
