We couldn’t make lifesaving blood available to hospitals without our phlebotomists across the country who help collect nearly 4.5 million blood donations and over 1 million platelet donations each year. ❤️ As our severe blood shortage continues, their work is more critical than ever. Every donor they welcome and every unit of blood they collect helps ensure patients can get the care they urgently need. Help us celebrate Phlebotomists Recognition Week by sharing a note of gratitude with your favorite phlebotomist! #Phlebotomist #DonateBlood #GiveBlood #BloodDonor #PlateletDonor
