Join the AIA LA Architecture in Healthcare Committee for American Heart Month.

Give blood anytime in the month of February for a chance to win an Apple Watch!

The U.S. blood supply has dropped by about 35%, forcing some hospitals to delay or ration care for trauma patients, cancer treatments, and emergency surgeries. Severe trauma patients, particularly those with massive hemorrhaging, often require 10 or more units of red blood cells within 24 hours, with extreme cases needing 50 to over 100 units. While 3% of trauma cases need this high volume, they utilize 70% of the blood supply. A single severe accident victim can require up to 50 units of red blood cells. 

 

Every donation counts! Join us this month to help save lives in our community.
