“Hospital patients rely on blood, platelet and plasma transfusions every hour of the day, every day of the year. But a current, prolonged shortfall of blood donations can put patient care at risk. We’re asking all donors to step up and help end the blood shortage to support these patients during their treatment. In return for donating in March, Vitalant will thank all donors with a chance to win big!” Vitalant said.
