Every second matters when a life is on the line.

That’s why Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services has launched a groundbreaking prehospital blood administration program, bringing lifesaving blood directly to patients before they ever reach the hospital. 🩸

When someone is critically injured, minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Research shows that each minute without blood can significantly increase the risk of mortality. Now, paramedics can begin treating severe blood loss right at the scene, closing the gap between injury and advanced trauma care.

Every donation helps ensure blood is available when it’s needed most.

Sometimes the reasons are simple. 🩸

For Ryan, he knew there was a need for his blood, so he showed up. That single decision can make a life-changing difference for someone else. ❤️

🎬 Hollywood makes it look like most donated blood goes to dramatic rescues…but the real story is quieter, and more life-changing.

Only about 2% of donated blood goes to patients with traumatic injuries like accidents or emergencies, far less than most people think.

Most blood donations quietly support neighbors, parents, spouses, coworkers, and friends fighting serious illness, undergoing surgery, managing chronic conditions, or simply staying alive another day. 🩸

When you donate blood, you’re not just giving a unit, you’re giving comfort to families, strength to patients in long battles, and hope to someone who needs it more than you know. You’re turning a statistic into someone’s second chance at life.

Start the new year with a resolution that truly makes a difference: donating blood. 🩸

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reminded that a new year brings new chances to save lives, support our communities, and show up for those who need us most.

We hope you have a joyful and healthy New Year and we can’t wait to see you at our donor centers in 2026! 🎇

With the holidays, and cold and flu season, winter is often a time when blood donations drop, leading to increased shortages. 🩸

As we get ready for National Blood Donor Month in January, there’s no better moment to make a lifesaving impact in your community. And like Deuandre said, one donation can help save multiple lives.

Start the new year with purpose: donate blood and tag a friend who could join you!

As the year comes to a close, we want to ask a simple question: Why?

Was it for someone you love? To help your community? Or simply because you wanted to make a difference?

Earlier this month, one of our team members attended the University of Florida’s Little Miracles event.

The Little Miracles Program, founded in 2000, supports the health of mothers and babies in Jacksonville by focusing on early prenatal and newborn care. Their services include prenatal and infant care access assistance, maternity and childbirth education, and on-site referrals that help families get the support they need.

Our team was there to share information about LifeSouth’s Cord Blood Bank and the impact cord blood donations can have for patients facing blood cancers and other life-threatening diseases. It’s a meaningful connection between two programs working toward the same goal: healthier beginnings and stronger futures for families and other individuals in our communities.

Giving goes beyond the donor chair ❤️

We were honored to partner with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. – Eta Phi Sigma Chapter (Philo Affiliates) on a toy drive at our Gainesville headquarters. Thanks to the generosity of our community, these donated toys were delivered to a local daycare to help brighten the holidays for little ones right here in Gainesville.

This is what it means to give back, together. 🧸✨

At LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, we’re committed to building a community of LIFERS, people who choose to save lives again and again.

So what’s a LIFER?
To us, it means a lifetime of impact, one pint at a time. LIFERS donate blood, platelets, plasma, or double red cells whenever they’re able, helping ensure patients in our communities always have what they need.

It’s not about the t-shirts or the social posts.
It’s about showing up for our friends, our families, and our neighbors. ❤️
It’s about building a stronger, healthier community, together.

👉 Visit https://appt.lifesouth.org/locate to find your closest donor center and start your journey as a LIFER.
