Did you know that every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood? The reality, however, is that only a small percentage of the population actually donates regularly. That’s why Trinity Wellness Center, P.C. , in cooperation with the Lewisville Noon Rotary Club, is asking volunteers to attend this upcoming community blood drive:
Why Donate Blood?
The need for blood is constant, with patients relying on blood transfusions for various medical treatments, such as cancer, surgery, and trauma. By donating blood, you are providing a vital resource essential to healthcare, emergency, and surgical procedures. Additionally, blood donation helps improve overall health by reducing the viscosity, or thickness, of blood, reducing the risk of heart disease.
The Donation Process
Donating blood is a simple and painless process that only takes about one hour. First, donors must register and provide information about their medical history. During the blood donation process, a trained technician will insert a sterile needle into a vein and collect about one pint of blood. Afterward, donors will rest and enjoy light refreshments, ensuring they feel well before leaving.
How to Donate
Donating blood is an easy and remarkable way to make a significant impact on the lives of others.
