Nonprofit blood services provider Vitalant urges all eligible donors to help meet the critical patient need for lifesaving transfusions by giving blood in October. It is the blood already on the shelves that saves lives in emergencies, and the 6th anniversary of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting is a reminder that tragedy can strike at a moment’s notice. To make a blood donation appointment, visit vitalant.org,download and use the Vitalant app or call 877-25-VITAL (877-258-4825) – Southern Arizona locations detailed below.

“I never knew how important it was to donate blood until it had saved my own life.
“I wouldn’t be here with my family if I didn’t have the blood transfusions.”
Jovanna Calzadillas

Blood donors help people like Jovanna Calzadillas, a Las Vegas shooting survivor who traveled from Arizona to the 2017 Route 91 Harvest Music Festival with her husband Frank. After suffering a severe gunshot wound to the head, Frank carried her to safety and enlisted the help of by-standers and police officers to rush her to the hospital. Jovanna was among the first to arrive at the Las Vegas University Medical Center. With a prognosis of un-survivable injuries, she made a remarkable recovery thanks to her doctors and blood donors. Donors of all blood types, especially type O are needed every day to replenish what is used to help patients. In an emergency, O-negative is crucial when there is not time to determine a patient’s blood type, and O-positive can help anyone with Rh-positive blood.
