What’s the difference between whole blood and plasma? ❤️💛

That’s a great question! People are generally more familiar with what blood is, but what many don’t know is that over half of your blood volume is actually plasma 🤯

Plasma is the yellow liquid (we like to call it ‘liquid gold’) in your blood that keeps you healthy, and it can do the same for others when you share it! The donation process is very similar to giving blood, but only your plasma is collected.

Sometimes we all need a break from the holiday rush. Slow down and experience a special moment that’s just for you when you donate blood or plasma — the gift that keeps giving 🎁🩸

Because winter brings unique challenges for blood and plasma collection — snowy roads, colder days and seasonal illnesses — you can feel good knowing that you gave a meaningful gift ✨

If this slowdown is exactly what you need, book an appointment to donate now or in the weeks to come and experience what you get when you give.
