January is National Blood Donor Month 🩸

Blood donation plays a critical role in patient care, supporting everything from emergency treatment to ongoing medical needs. It’s a simple act that takes about an hour and can make a meaningful difference for multiple patients.

If you’re eligible, consider donating through trusted local organizations like the American Red Cross or ConnectLife to help maintain a strong and reliable blood supply in the WNY community.
