LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — January is Nationwide Blood Donor Month and blood donation nonprofit Vitalant is encouraging eligible Las Vegas residents to begin the yr with a doubtlessly lifesaving donation.
“Blood donations are continually essential to support patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments and other medical procedures but the winter months pose challenges to maintaining a stable blood supply,” in line with a Monday launch from the nonprofit.
Donors of all blood sorts are wanted, Vitalant stated, particularly sort O, essentially the most transfused blood and what medical doctors want most in emergencies. These with sort O blood are common donors, which means they’ll donate pink blood cells to anyone.
As a part of an effort to get eligible donors in chairs, Vitalant is giving donors “appreciation gifts” for donating. In line with the nonprofit, in case you donate by Jan. 1, you’ll obtain a voucher for 2 tickets to Penn & Teller Reside on the Rio Las Vegas. Donate by Jan. 7 and you’re going to get a Pals-themed T-shirt and a $15 present card.
“If I had the chance to meet the individuals who donated the blood that saved my life, I would want to hug them,” Davi Machen, who obtained three items of blood throughout surgical procedure, instructed Vitalant. “I would make sure they know they are angels on Earth.”
Donation appointments could be made on Vitalant’s web site. Regular donor facilities are positioned at 601 Whitney Ranch Drive, 4950 W Craig Street, and 6930 W Charleston Boulevard.
