(COLO) – Donations of blood see a sharp decline during the winter months but this doesn’t stop the need. According to Vitalant every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Whether an ongoing health condition like cancer or the need for a blood transfusion from a traumatic injury like a motor vehicle crash, the need for donations is still there!
The Colorado State Patrol is partnering with Vitalant for the third year to advance its shared mission of saving lives. Registration is now open to donating blood during the month of March 2023 for the Colorado State Patrol blood drive. Troopers are asking you to give the gift of life!
