Today is #WorldBloodDonorDay We know for some the significance may not mean much but for others, a decision to donate blood could literally save a life. Especially in communities with limited access to health care, plagued with chronic illness, or a drastic lack of donors in the area to meet the need. Blood is needed every 2 seconds for the treatment of accident victims, cancer patients, hemophiliacs, surgery patients, and more -  but only 37 % of our country's population is eligible to give blood, and less than 10 % of those who can donate actually do donate annually HOW CAN YOU HELP? 🩸 Donate blood today. And plan recurring donations. 🩸 Encourage a friend to donate as well. 🩸 Can’t donate blood? Donate your time or funds to a local org You can also become a CERTIFIED life-saver as a highly trained #phlebotomist 🩸 ETM provides invaluable #phlebotomy training.
