Did you know February is National Heart Health Awareness Month? Vitalant would like to help bring much needed awareness on how important transfusions are to the critical aspect of managing cardiac surgery patients . An estimated 50% of cardiac surgery patients require a blood transfusion and with it being the month of love, you can help.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Vitalant is offering a $15 gift card to our February donors, redeemable through the donor rewards store (opt in required). You must enter the promo code GIVELOVE-2026-V when you sign up to donate to receive this offer.
Upcoming blood drive locations:
- 2–6 p.m., Feb. 14 — The Los Alamos Teen Center is sponsoring a blood drive on Valentine’s Day
- 12 –4 p.m., Feb. 19 — The Los Alamos Senior Center is sponsoring a blood drive
- 10 a.m.–2 p.m., Feb. 21 — The Bloodmobile will be parked at the Los Alamos Smith’s Marketplace
Only 3% of those eligible donate blood, and to encourage more people to get involved, they’ve developed a way for you to host a virtual blood drive of your own. Get the details on-line or check out the QR code to see more.
You can call 1.877.258.4825 to sign up for any of these Los Alamos events or visit Vitalant at www.vitalant.org
