January is National Blood Donor Month

January is a time to recognize the life-saving impact of blood donations and the critical need for ongoing support. Did you know that every two seconds, someone in the United States requires blood? Blood and platelet donations are vital for those facing medical emergencies, undergoing surgeries, or managing chronic illnesses.

At RAHS, we believe in fostering a healthier future for our communities and we encourage youth and young adults to get involved in this important cause. Supporting local blood drives is one way we can all make a difference. Whether you’ve already participated in blood donation efforts or are considering donating for the first time, your contribution plays a key role in saving lives. Volunteering at blood drives or donation centers is another meaningful way to give back and help those in need.
