The LifeSouth bus made
its first stop to the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives
Saturday July 25th.
LifeSouth is a community blood supplier for local hospitals.
The blood donated here will stay in our community for local
patient transfusions.
Each year, nearly five million Americans need a blood
transfusion. That’s 728 donors a day.
The process is only about
30 minutes total, you are made very comfortable and even allowed
to eat and drink!
LifeSouth sends out their
buses to Huntsville, Madison, Athens and Decatur to provide an
easy way for donors to give.
Our technicians were very friendly and
knowledgeable, I even learned my blood type & if I would drink
more water I might have better veins!
Each donor received a "Live, Laugh, Give" T-Shirt,
and the good feeling of knowing you may have just helped your
neighbor or a stranger.
When you see a LifeSouth bus, take a few
minutes to be a hero and give blood, it will help save a life!
LifeSouth Community
Blood Centers is a community blood supplier for local
hospitals in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. LifeSouth is
committed to meeting the blood supply needs of these
hospitals in each of the communities we serve by providing
the highest quality blood components and services.
Each year, nearly five million Americans need a blood
transfusion. To meet our responsibility, we need to collect
266,000 blood donations a year. That’s 728 donors a day.
With over 30 donor centers, 37 blood mobiles and over 1,000
blood drives a month, our LifeSouth team is committed to
making sure the blood is there when you or your family
member is in need. We are your community blood center. The
blood supply collected from our donors directly serves the
needs of patients at over 120 medical facilities throughout
our footprint. The blood donated here will stay in our
community for local patient transfusions. Only if our local
supply is met will LifeSouth share our blood resources with
other communities.
There are no substitutes for blood. Volunteering to give
blood is giving the gift of life to patients who need
transfusions. We hold this gift with the highest regard.
Please consider becoming a part of our community’s blood
supply by donating blood with LifeSouth.
