HARD FACTS:

No one wants to be in the position of needing blood to maintain health, to battle disease, or to recover from injury; however, 1 in 4 of us, at some point in our life, will require a blood transfusion.

One donation can help multiple patients. Following collection, red blood cells, plasma and platelets are separated, stored and distributed separately.

Blood cannot be manufactured – it can only come from generous donors.

Apheresis is a mode of collection that allows a donor to give only the specific blood component that is in need by patients, such as platelets.

Less than 10% of the population eligible to donate blood actually does so.

Platelets are especially in need by cancer patients and must be used within 5 days of collection. New donations are continuously in need.

Most donated red blood cells must be used within 42 days of collection.

Touching Testimonials

I was given 11 units when my younger son was born on 2005. I am in eternal debt with those donors whom I do not know. Now, two of my son’s and me donate blood willingly, knowing that this is a precious liquid of life. I love the service provided by Lifestream on my first day of donation. Thanks!

The staff is very friendly and skilled. The process is fast and easy, no pain at all 🙂 We get a cute ribbon afterwards; makes me more proud as a blood donor.

I have been coming to this location ever since I was old enough to give blood 🙂 I still remember my first time on October 24th back in 2007!! The people who work here are nice, reassuring, genuine and kind. I absolutely love their staff!! Everything is very professional. They have even recently upgraded their system to an electronic method while is more private and efficient for the blood donor 🙂 They give you careful after-care instructions and they give you snacks and drinks in the Canteen area… even when my iron fails =/ they still offer me snacks, but of course I don’t take it!! I can honestly say giving blood at this location makes me feel like a part of the community!!

Everyone there takes the time to make sure your comfortable and at ease while donating. It’s a relaxed atmosphere, which makes donating a good experience. As a temporary employee there, I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work and learn there. Everyone has been most welcoming and helpful. They make me feel as if I’ve been a part of the team forever. Thank you to them all!

I love the experience. I love that I am helping someone else and saving lives. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I can’t believe I waited so long to become a donor. I encourage all who have not donated, if you are able, please do. The local offices are open all day to accommodate all schedules.

I donated blood yesterday. It was great all the staff was very helpful. I had a great time donating blood at LifeStream.

We were welcomed in and made to feel very comfortable. Our nurses were very proficient and polite, but not afraid to be fun and make our donation time enjoyable.
