With so much of the focus medically in this country on the COVID-19 crisis, it can be easy to forget that there are still so many Americans who are fighting battles with cancer, injured in car accidents, or waiting for an organ transplant. So much of what can be done to save lives medically relies on having good usable blood in storage, and that's where we can help!
