Less Than 10% of Eligible Donors Donate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only a small portion of those who can do donate. Blood donation is a very safe process, regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the American Association of Blood Banks. They make certain that the donor, the blood supply and recipient stay protected at all times during the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Blood Donation Saves Lives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Donations are essential for trauma patients and those undergoing a wide range of situations, such as: blood disorders, surgeries (like transplants), and chronic illnesses (like cancer). Because more than 90% of the people who are eligible to donate blood do not, there\u2019s always a need for donors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. It Only Takes an Hour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The entire donation process takes approximately one hour, with about 10 minutes of that time being the actual blood donation. As far as volume is concerned, the entire blood donation is usually only one pint (or 500 milliliters in medical lingo).<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. There\u2019s Very Little if Any Pain Involved<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the needle is inserted, you may feel uncomfortable for fraction of a second but shouldn\u2019t feel anything while the blood is being drawn. If your arm feels a little achy after donating, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliver with acetaminophen to alleviate the soreness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. It Doesn\u2019t Have to be a One-Time Gift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Blood Drives are great, did you know that Blood Donation can be donethroughout the year? A single, whole blood donation (red cells, plasma and platelets) or an apheresis donation, where one component of blood, such as red cells or platelets, is shared and the other components are returned to the donor. Whole blood donations can be made every eight weeks, up to six times per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past March 25th we held our 2nd Annual Corus Blood Drive and it was a rousing success.
