Simply put, blood donations are crucial to our healthcare system.  Our friends at Vitalant have done the math and they tell us that every 2 seconds, someone in America will need blood.  It could be a little girl with leukemia.  It could be the victim of an accident.  It could be a lot of things.  Vitalant supplies blood to around 900 hospitals in two dozen states.  Two dozen hospitals who rely on Vitalant for their day-to-day and also their unimaginable blood needs.  But one blood donation can save up to three lives.  And Vitalant has a couple of blood drives here in town where you can potentially make that life-saving donation.
