Every six minutes, a patient at Mayo Clinic needs a transfusion of blood or blood products. A simple blood donation can save the life of a child with leukemia, restore the strength of a cancer patient or provide a critical transfusion to an accident victim. There is no substitute for this life-saving gift, so our patients rely upon the caring spirit of blood donors like you. Volunteer donors are e

specially needed during the summer months, when an increase in elective and emergency surgeries means the demand for blood and blood products is also higher. Please consider making an appointment to donate blood today, and encourage friends, co-workers and family members to do so as well. For more information about who can donate, donor center hours, directions and parking, or to find mobile blood drives in your area, please check out our website.

Tonight, Mayo Clinic buildings will be lit red, white and blue in honor of Memorial Day.

Did you know? The Plummer Tower and carillon in Rochester were dedicated to an American soldier by the Mayo brothers, a lasting tribute to those who served and sacrificed for our country.

As we reflect over the long weekend, it’s also an important time to remember that the need for blood donations doesn’t pause.

After the holiday, consider making an appointment to donate—your one donation can help save up to three lives and bring hope to patients who need it most.

200 donations! 🩸

An incredible milestone and a powerful reminder of what it means to make giving a part of your life.

For Paul, donating isn’t something extra—it’s integrated into who he is. In a world that often feels hectic, he believes donation is a way to give hope.

He put it best: “I think donating is a health-seeking behavior.”

Blood donation is a habit that helps others—and ourselves.

May is Trauma Awareness Month 🩸

We’re honored to partner with the Trauma Center to highlight the critical role blood donation plays in trauma care. Every day, trauma teams rely on a steady blood supply to respond to urgent, life‑threatening situations—and every donation makes a difference.

During the month of May, you can support the challenge by donating at a fixed site or mobile blood drive—just remember to fill out a challenge slip when you donate. Together, our goal is to collect 141 donations, reflecting the average number of units needed to support trauma patients every month.

Want to get involved in person? The Trauma Center team will be tabling at the Saint Marys mobile blood drive on May 13th, sharing information and inviting you to join this lifesaving effort. Donate blood, support our trauma teams, and help ensure care is available when it’s needed most!
