January is National Blood Donor Month

January is National Blood Donor Month, and LifeStream blood bank marks the occasion by thanking its donors and blood donors everywhere for giving the gift of life. National Blood Donor Month, first celebrated in 1970, is an effort to being greater awareness to the cause of voluntary blood donation, of its need, and its goodness. There is no substitute for volunteer donors when members of their community undergo surgeries, are treated for cancer, are victims of trauma or otherwise experience a sudden, unexpected need for blood transfusion. Thanks to local, selfless blood donors who gave anonymously so others may live, LifeStream was able to immediately supply blood to hospitals that treated the wounded following the Dec. 2 mass shooting in San Bernardino. The start of the year is an ideal time to join a lifesaving team. All blood types and types of donation are needed. To set an appointment to assist local patients and give comfort to their loved ones, call LifeStream at 1.800.879.4484 or go to LStream.org. LifeStream is an independent, local blood center that provides blood products and services to more than 80 Southern California hospitals.
