R.I. Blood Center, Organ Donors Join Forces For National Donate Life Month
April is National Donate Life Month – celebrating the heroes who donate blood, donate bone marrow and donate organs.
The Rhode Island Blood Center, its marrow program, and many leading organ donation groups are joining together in April (National Donate Life Month) to increase awareness of the need for both blood and organ donors, and the use of blood products associated with many organ transplants. The idea is to encourage people across Rhode Island to consider donating blood, registering their bone marrow, and making sure you've signed up for organ donations after death. On Tuesday, April 2, there will be a press conference showcasing four people who have benefited from donations and transplants. If you want to learn more, contact the Rhode Island Blood Center.
