🩸 August is Minority Donor Awareness Month! 🩸

Did you know that blood donations from African American and other black populations are crucial for those living with sickle cell disease? Because blood types and markers are often inherited, these blood donations can be especially helpful for patients with sickle cell disease, as many of them rely on regular blood transfusions as part of their treatment. Your donation can make a life-saving difference! 

Check out this short CDC video “Blood Donations Needed Among African Americans” to learn more about how you can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrzYXUQknWM
