⚠️ We need to be honest — we’re at just 82% of the platelets needed for patients right now.
That 18% gap means cancer patients and others could face delayed care.

Welcome to the team, Sammy Jo! 🎉

Sometimes the best way to explain the power of platelet donation… is to let donors speak for themselves.
Platelets are constantly needed for patients facing cancer, trauma, and other serious conditions—and donors make that care possible. 💛
Imagine we're all donors, it's easy if you try! No shortage of them, just giving side by side! 🎶
Don't forget to tag us in your photos to be featured in next month's blood donor feature. 📸
