Permanent Blood Donation Deferral
Imagine the following scenario: You set out on a mission — your lifesaving mission to save the lives of hospital patients through blood donation. But soon, you receive the disappointing news. You're told you have a permanent blood donation deferral and can't give blood. What then can you do?

Making a blood donation at a Vitalant location today means being welcomed into a clean and modern facility, screened thoroughly for everyone's safety, and hooked up to sterile equipment. But the early history of blood donation was a far cry from this environment.
Low Blood Donation
Summer plans are often fun, but for hospital patients, the summer stretch is no picnic.
Mother's Day Memories
As we celebrate Mother's Day in May, a young mom shares how her life was saved by the generosity of blood donors. That’s why blood donation is a great way to mark Mother’s Day or to honor the mother figure in your life.
Blood Donation Deferral
The FDA has established blood donation requirements and deferral information designed to keep the blood supply safe from bloodborne diseases, and also keep patients safe.
