July is Medical Innovation Month?!
The National Museum of Health and Medicine has a wealth of displays and information on incredible tools and innovative products that have helped save and give life! (We’re all about that!!)😉

July is , and our museum holds thousands of objects related to innovation.

One of these items, featured in our Continuum of Care exhibit in the Innovations in Military Medicine Gallery, is called a Special Medical Emergency Evacuation Device (SMEED).

This innovation provides a singular, secure platform for patient monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators, and similar equipment. It can be attached to a NATO litter before evacuation and is approved for inflight use aboard aircraft.

ICYMI: We are in the process of implementing new language and changes to long-held deferrals, per FDA's new guidelines and updates.

This will be a good change to help welcome back donors and have some first time ones!

We will make sure to update when fully implemented across our systems, the training, etc at all of our centers and more.

The Food and Drug Administration issued new guidance on blood donations, removing some long-standing deferrals. In addition to this, the FDA is also considering moving towards an individualized risk-based approach when deciding donor eligibility. These changes are related to HIV medications and thos...

DEAR FRIEND, FOR A LONG TIME I AD SENTA MESSAGE TO WHICH NEVER ARRIVED AN ANSWER. BUT TODAY I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE SENT A PACKAGE CONTAINING AN HONOR FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF ITALIAN BLOOD DONORS OF WHICH I AM VICE-PRESIDENT IN A SECTION. I HOPE IT WILL LIKE YOU AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A REFERENCE NOTE WHEN THE PACKAGE WILL HAPPEN YOU WITH FRATERNAL FRIENDSHIP, Cosimino Simeone [email protected]
How has COVID affected the ASBP collection posture and stockpile? AABB, America's Blood Centers, and the Red Cross have reported blood drives are down 100,000 (30% decline), and many are critically understocked with only a 1-2 days supply vs a normal week's supply.
Is there any chance that you can come to a base in NY or even West Point?
PER FAVORE POTETE RISPONDERMI......
Opportunity for Veterans!
New Musicals Inc (NMI) is adapting veteran's stories into ten-minute musicals to be filmed as part of a web-series to honor veterans.
Veterans whose stories are selected for development will receive a $1000 honorarium and hold on to the rights of their stories.
Don't let the "musical" aspect dissuade you. No musical talent needed to apply. NMI just needs a compelling story from your military background – just one story – not a compilation -- and they will bring a composer, lyricist, and professional actor together to turn it into song. They will also welcome you into the collaboration process if you want to be included on the creative side.
See the link for info and a very short video that explains the project. Deadline is November 20.

The doctors said Herpes virus do not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human
cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn’t a special virus – your immune system has
the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is
unable to remove it from your body,But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of
the virus gradually and totally from your body without damaging any of your cells,natural herbs kills the
virus totally not just reducing the out break. Get natural herbs cure from Dr. AGBI or reach him through

In response to your ads, articles and pleas everywhere for blood to alleviate the shortage, I signed up online to donate blood. I received a confirmed appointment online for 10 am this morning at RTC Great Lakes, IL and then drove 40 miles only to be turned away at the RTC gate. I was then sent to the other side of the base to the visitor center to get an RTC pass, and they refused to issue one even though I showed them my retiree ID card and the printout of my confirmed appointment. I was then sent packing, all the way back home.
If you’re going to hold the blood drive at the RTC (the most restricted area on the base) I’d like to suggest that registered blood donors names be automatically placed on a special access list at the gate, or, move it to an easy access area with easy and open parking like maybe Lovell or the NEX lot.
Submitted for consideration.
