June 14th is World Blood Donor Day: Blood Connects Us All!

Published June 13, 2016

As a former A-Fib patient, I’m very much aware of blood as the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person — the gift of life.

I regularly donate blood (just donated last week). It’s invigorating to help others, and it doesn’t cost you anything but your time. (But be advised that certain A-Fib medications such as some blood thinners may preclude you from giving blood.)

Every year, on June 14th, countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day. There is a constant need for regular blood supply because blood can be stored for only a limited time before use.

Regular blood donations by healthy people ensure that safe blood will be available whenever and wherever it is needed. A decision to donate your blood can save a life. For more, read Why should I donate blood?
