As you all are aware, the need for platelet donors for the patients of BMTGA and Northside Hospital is constant. Thankfully, donations picked up after the Labor Day holiday but have dropped off again this week. In order to meet the daily needs of ALL of our patients we need to collect approximately 30 units of platelets per day (Monday – Saturday) every week. If we are not able to schedule more donors this week and next week, we will fall short of that goal.
If you know anyone who may be willing to donate OR and groups (employers, civic organizations, churches) who may be willing to help, please contact them immediately.
I know Connie and Tim are looking to go soon and I really appreciate that. My levels should be dropping again within a week and others are in need so if you can help out please do so. Thanks everyone!
