Ever wonder if donating blood really makes a difference?  Here’s a quote from a family member of a transfusion recipient to a donor: “Thank you for having the courage and kindness to donate your positive blood.  My wife is currently a cancer patient and needed a transfusion. We can't thank you and the hospital enough.”

Have you ever been told in the past that you aren’t eligible to donate?  Criteria has recently changed.  Click here to learn more about recent changes the FDA has made to donor eligibility criteria.
