January is National Blood Donor Month! Part 1

Donating blood can save lives, and less than 10% of eligible donors do. January has been designated as National Blood Donor Month because it is usually a period of serious blood shortages. People tend to stop donating blood during the busy holidays or due to illness during cold and flu season. Blood donations may also be cancelled due to snow. 

Almost everyone knows someone who has required a blood transfusion due to illness or injury and how important it is. Blood donations from people with rare blood types are especially critical.    

Private Home Care urges you to give the gift of health and save a life by donating blood!
