Nashville Platelet Shortage: Save Lives Today
Description
Nashville and Middle Tennessee are grappling with a severe platelet shortage, particularly impacting cancer patients. Blood Assurance is offering incentives until May 15th for donations. With hospital needs remaining steady or increasing, every seven to eight minutes, someone at Vanderbilt requires a transfusion. Cancer patients on treatment often face low platelet counts, risking bleeding. Platelets expire in five days, making fresh donations vital. If eligible, donate at Blood Assurance centers, online, or by phone. Your donation could save a life today.
