What can I say that is not been said? Heads up! Ostrich heads out of the sand! The human race is in serious trouble as deadly bacteria have outsmarted antibiotics because they are clever and we are so eager for a quick fix that we have taken antibiotics that are meant to kill bacteria. Unfortunately, they do not work on viruses. As many of you know, I spent three years fighting and barely surviving a deadly bacterial infection called C. Difficile. We work together as a nonprofit organization lobbing our Congress people working towards trying to find and develop new targeted antibiotic drugs, and understand the microbiome, so that no others will end up dying as the result the lack of antibiotic protection for a serious infection. We need your help. We need donations in order to continue to do the work that we have done over the past 10 years it has been remarkable. It has led in no small part to some new biologic treatments and it has brought awareness to millions of people around the world who never even knew that an infection like CDF existed until someone they knew passed from it. Please, please, considering making a donation to a nonprofit organization, where you know the money is only going to serve the human population, and protect our future. Every bacterial infection is part of this crisis!

MYTH: Living donors must be related to the patient they’re donating to. FACT: Anyone can become a living donor whether you’re a relative, friend, or stranger! Living donors can help save lives by gifting a kidney, a portion of the liver, or even a portion of their pancreas, lungs, or intestine.

It's National Donor Day! This day raises awareness of the live-saving benefits of five different types of donation – Organs, Tissues, Marrow, Platelets, and Blood, especially for our littlest warriors. Valentine’s Day, and every day for that matter, is the perfect day to share the love by committing to saving and healing lives through donation. You can make an impact by registering as a donor at Donate Life America or spreading awareness by sharing this post! The more awareness of the need for the five different types of donation, the greater the impact on our pediatric warriors who need it to survive.

Considering egg donation? 🌟 At CHR, your health and safety are our top priorities. Dr. Gleicher emphasizes the importance of using a conservative stimulation protocol to protect your ovaries, a practice not every clinic follows. Choose a clinic that prioritizes your well-being as much as the success of the donation. Learn more about our donor program and how we ensure the safest experience for you. #CHRCommitment #EggDonation #HealthFirst

In the midst of questions, I also learnt some things 1. Ensure to eat well before donation. 2. Stay hydrated(drink enough water) before and especially after donating blood. 3. To be a donor, you must be within the normal weight range or more, not underweight. 4. You can donate blood after 4 Months again 5. For Females, Menstrual cycle must be put into consideration before blood donation 6. Blood donation is good.🤗☺️ Thanks to the OA Initiative for this big platform. Ayomide Olanipekun Thanks💫🙌

💚 ❤️ 💚 In 2023, LifeNet Health achieved an all-time high in organ donations, providing 591 patients on the National Transplant Waiting List a second chance at life. As someone who personally engages with users to secure authorizations, I'm reminded of the importance of delivering a seamless, compassionate user experience. Being personally involved in understanding the voice of the user and enhancing the user experience, one crucial insight I'm reminded of repeatedly is the transformative power of deep listening. Actively engaging with users, their feedback has guided product improvements and fostered trust and loyalty. It's a reminder that every interaction strengthens our product and builds meaningful connections with our users. This leads to saving more lives, restoring the health of more people, and giving hope to everyone involved! It's a true blessing to work for an organization whose mission is, "Saving Lives, Restoring Health, and Giving Hope." #organdonation #customerexperience #voiceofthecustomer #productmanagement
