Blood Donation

When it comes to blood donation, 17 percent of non-donors cite “never thought about it” as the main reason for not giving, while 15 percent say they’re too busy. While we are too busy to donate, every 2 seconds someone needs blood.

On Valentine's Day Larry H Miller Toyota Albuquerque employees did their part to help the local community along with our friends at United Blood Services.

Did you know?

• Someone needs blood every two seconds
• Donating blood one time (1 Pint) can save 3 lives
• More than 4.5 million patients need blood transfusions each year in the U.S. and Canada
• 43,000 pints: amount of donated blood used each day in the U.S. and Canada
• Much of today’s medical care depends on a steady supply of blood from healthy donors
• Blood centers often run short of types O and B red blood cells
• The #1 reason blood donors say they give is because they “want to help others”
• If all blood donors gave three times a year, blood shortages would be a rare event (The current average is about two.)
• There is no substitute for human blood

 
Thank you to everyone who donated blood and a special thanks to Tammy Burns, Customer Retention Manager, for helping to coordinate our blood drive.
