This:
Patients with blood cancers are often not able to produce their own platelets, which can result in frequent nose bleeds, bruising, bleeding gums and more severe health complications.
Additionally, a low platelet count can delay necessary cancer treatments and prolong the overall treatment plan, so many patients need to receive regular platelet transfusions.
PLEASE CALL US-WE REALLY DO NEED YOUR HELP! 845-8275
Hey Donor Center Friends, we have EXCITING NEWS!
We are moving to a brand new space in the hospital. Effective Tuesday, 10/27 all donors should come through the main hospital entrance and then proceed to the Donor Center after the required Covid screening. Look for the signs. We can't wait to show you our new space!
What is your favorite thing about fall or favorite fall activity? Aside from donating platelets and blood, that is 😉

With the ongoing critical need for O type whole blood (especially O negative!), we decided to create something fun for the O whole blood donors out there! Donate O type whole blood during the month of October, and be entered to win a $10 certificate to Peace, Love & Little Donuts :) Three chances to win!
Don't have O type blood? Platelet donor? Don't worry- we still have our great monthly raffle going on for all of our platelet and blood donors! This month has a fall theme 🍎🍂🍁🎃
We know you can't travel as easily as you once could, but these Donor Center travel pillows are amazing, and we have a small stock of them! Soft, cozy, and they have a snap so they don't fall off. Maybe they could be a Netflix and chill accessory, or work-from-home neck support instead of a travel necessity?
Any donor (who didn't previously receive a pillow) who comments with the story of what started your donation journey, and what keeps you coming back to the Donor Center, will receive a pillow at their next donation! Don't have an appointment? Give us a call to schedule- 716-845-8275 :)
