January is Blood Donor Awareness Month! 💉🩸
Donating blood is one of the most impactful ways to give back to our community! Every day, our hospitals need hundreds of units of blood, plasma, and platelets to treat patients effectively. Just ONE donation can save up to three lives. 🤝
Our partners, @vitalantsouth , are leading the charge here in Memphis to maintain the city’s blood bank supply. Visit their page to learn more and schedule a donation for after our streets thaw! ❤️
