Blood donation is not just a career for me, but a very personal and passionate part of my life, as I have had friends and family impacted by needing blood, plasma and platelets to save their life. Every blood drive you host and every donor you inspire to donate is truly changing someone’s life for the better, whether that means one more day with their loved ones or gaining a lifetime back.
This isn’t goodbye. I’ll still be with the Vitalant family working each day to ensure patients have the blood they need so that more health battles are won. Thank you again for your selfless commitment to sharing Vitalant’s mission and helping us save lives; you are invaluable.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Mitzy P. Edgecomb
Vice President, West Division
