SRQ DAILY WEDNESDAY PHILANTHROPY EDITION
WEDNESDAY JAN 22, 2025 |
In alignment with its mission of saving lives, the Sarasota County Fire Department (SCFD) has partnered with SunCoast Blood Centers to implement a groundbreaking prehospital whole blood transfusion program. This initiative aims to provide life-saving blood transfusions to patients suffering from severe bleeding or traumatic injuries before they arrive at the hospital. Community members can support this life-saving initiative by donating whole blood and specifically stating this is for the SCFD whole blood program. Whole blood donation takes around 15 minutes and can be completed every 56 days. Learn more about donor eligibility on the SunCoast Blood Center website.
