Donors encouraged to give blood in support of Mothers this May <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

RAPID CITY<\/strong> \u2013 Vitalant is partnering with women\u2019s health advocates, Monument Health, and the community to honor and support women who have experienced pregnancy-related complications through the month-long \u201cDonate for Mothers\u201d campaign this May. Blood transfusions help patients in need and are especially critical for women who experience emergencies during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

On Friday May 13th<\/sup>, Monument Health will host their May Blood drive from 9 AM \u2013 2 PM in Room S2165, donors are encouraged to make an appointment and donate on behalf of mothers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Multiple blood and plasma transfusions helped save Nicole Hall\u2019s life when she experienced an amniotic fluid embolism while giving birth to her third child, Haxton. \u201cI wish I could tell my donors that I am grateful for their donation because it not only saved my life, it gave me a chance to meet my son and helped make sure my children didn\u2019t grow up without a mom,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for blood has continued for childbirth as well as pregnancy-related issues. It\u2019s the blood already on the shelf that helps in an emergency, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to always maintain a safe and ready supply.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to work with the advocates and hospital partners behind Donate for Mothers each year to support and recognize the brave women and their loved ones impacted by pregnancy-related complications,\u201d said Vitalant Mountain Division Vice President Anne Burtchaell. \u201cWe want to encourage the community to give blood regularly to make sure patients, including mothers, get the lifesaving donations they depend on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If donors can\u2019t make it to the Monument Health blood drive, they can pledge to give in support of a mother in their life through Vitalant\u2019s Virtual Blood Drive option. Donors can find a complete list of drives, learn more and make an appointment to give at: www.vitalant.org\/donateformothers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a limited time, Vitalant is testing all donations for COVID-19 antibodies to produce plasma that could help COVID-19 patients with weakened immune systems.<\/p>\n
