Local Business Champion Spotlight
Save A Life This Mother's Day With Carter BloodCare
Transfusions are needed in one out of every 83 childbirths in the United States. And, according to America’s Blood Centers, the rate of transfusions during deliveries has increased 54% in recent years. Hemorrhaging during or after delivery can lead to severe anemia. Thus, transfusions are essential for replenishing the patient’s lost blood and ensuring the well-being of both mother and newborn.
Carter BloodCare provides lifesaving transfusion resources to more than 200 medical facilities in over 50 counties throughout North, Central and East Texas. The donation process can take as little as 45 minutes of your time, but it makes a lifelong difference for someone else.
In honor of Mother's Day this Sunday, the Coppell Chamber invites you to please donate during our Carter BloodCare mobile drive at the Wellness Festival on Saturday. Please sign up in advance as time slots are limited.
