Every 15 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs platelets. Right now, hundreds of platelet donations are needed to help ensure patients have the platelets they depend on.
Platelets are especially important for cancer patients, helping prevent serious bleeding during treatment. But because platelets must be transfused within a week, a consistent supply of donors is essential to support those relying on transfusions.
Your platelet donation can help keep that support going. Consider making an appointment to donate Sunday or sometime next week. Every appointment is another opportunity to help a patient get the care they need.
