National Blood Donor Month Spotlight 🩸

Dr. Charles R. Drew was a visionary physician and scientist whose work transformed modern medicine. Known as the “Father of Blood Banking,” Dr. Drew developed innovative methods for collecting, processing, and storing blood plasma, making it possible to transport blood safely and use it when and where patients need it most. His research played a critical role in saving countless lives during World War II and helped establish the blood banking systems we rely on today.

Beyond his scientific achievements, Dr. Drew was a passionate advocate for equity in healthcare and medical education. His legacy reminds us that progress in medicine is driven by both innovation and compassion.

This National Blood Donor Month, we honor Dr. Drew by recognizing the lifesaving power of blood donation. Every donation continues the mission he helped begin—ensuring patients facing emergencies, surgeries, cancer treatments, and chronic illnesses have access to the blood products they need. Join us in celebrating his impact by making blood donation part of your January tradition. 🩸❤️

🩸 Calling all blood donors with Type O!

O blood types are always in high demand—and last week, when we called on our O-Negative donors, you showed up. Thank you! The need continues. Right now, patients in local hospitals are depending on Type O blood, and we have an immediate need for both O-Positive and O-Negative donors.

Why do we call on Type O donors so often? O-Negative blood can be transfused to anyone, regardless of blood type, and O-Positive is the most common blood type, making it the most frequently used in hospitals. Every two seconds, someone needs blood—and those patients are your neighbors, friends, and family.

We know the message can feel repetitive, but the need is constant. Thank you for continuing to step up and save lives. ❤️

If you’re O-Positive or O-Negative, your donation is needed now.

From car accidents to unexpected surgeries and medical emergencies, ERs depend on blood being available at a moment’s notice. Blood can’t be manufactured—it must be donated and ready before an emergency happens.

This National Blood Donor Month, your donation helps keep lifesaving blood on the shelf, ensuring local hospitals have what they need when every second counts. 🩸❤️

January is National Blood Donor Month, and we’re taking time to celebrate the heroes who make lifesaving care possible every day. ❤️🩸

“This National Blood Donor Month, we celebrate the extraordinary generosity of the nearly seven million Americans who donate blood each year. Their decision is more than an act of kindness, it is a lifeline for patients facing emergencies, chronic conditions, and serious health challenges. We urge all eligible individuals to make time to donate blood in January and throughout the year to help ensure patients have the blood products they need, when they need them.”
— Kate Fry, Chief Executive Officer, America’s Blood Centers

As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to think about your New Year’s resolutions ❤️
The average person donates blood just 1.5 times a year — but lifesavers don’t settle for average.

Make donating blood regularly part of your 2026 goals and help ensure patients always have the blood they need. Be above average. Be a lifesaver. 🩸✨
