🚨 Calling all O- donors! 🚨

Most blood transfusions are not for major accidents — they’re for everyday medical treatments like:
• Cancer therapies
• Surgeries
• Chronic illnesses
• Childbirth complications

Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

It’s easy to assume someone else will donate — but hospital shelves depend on everyday heroes from our own community.

You don’t have to know the person whose life you’ll impact. You just have to show up.

We had an incredible 2-day blood drive in partnership with Colorado State University last week!

Thank you, CSU, for helping us save local lives. We can’t wait to do it again!

Colorado State University students and faculty donated blood Feb. 16-18, starting at the Translational Medical Institute and then to the Lory Student Center. The blood donated during the drive went to UCHealth’s Garth Englund Blood Center. “CSU has hosted blood drives in the past, but they were ...

Meet brothers Mark, Bill, and Larry—their standing tradition? Donate blood together, then head out for a lunch date.

There’s some friendly sibling rivalry involved, too. Mark just reached his 2-gallon donated milestone, Bill is just over the 2.5-gallon mark, and Larry? He’s proudly leading the pack with more than 5-gallons donated.

They may tease each other about the numbers, but they all agree on what matters most: showing up, giving back, and saving lives—together.

🩸 Most people who are eligible to donate blood never do.

In fact, a large portion of the population can donate, but only a small percentage actually steps up. That means blood shortages often happen—not because people don’t care, but because they don’t realize how needed they are.

Choosing to donate is an easy way to serve your community and fill a gap that truly matters. Schedule you donation today: https://bit.ly/47spvlq

🩸 Did you know donated blood only lasts about 42 days?

That’s why hospitals need a steady flow of donors year-round. Blood can’t be stockpiled for emergencies—it depends on everyday people stepping up consistently.

When you donate, you’re helping ensure shelves stay full not just today, but every week after. It’s a quiet but powerful form of community service that keeps surgeries running, emergency rooms prepared and patients alive.
