It was time to donate blood again at my workplace Blood Assurance in Chattanooga, TN. This is something I enjoy doing as a part of my work. If you can donate blood, donate where you are.
Donation Day At Blood Assurance

World Blood Donor Day, June 14th
World Blood Donor Day was established in 2004 by several organizations including the World Health Organization in order to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products, and to thank blood donors for their voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood. Every single blood or plasma donation is a precious lifesaving gift, and regular donation is the key to building a safe and sustainable supply. As a person who recruits donors for Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank serving Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky, it’s important to donate every 56 days.
Holiday Blood Donation
I made my last blood donation for 2023 in advance of the holidays. This time of year blood donors are needed to help keep a good inventory available for those in need and for emergencies. As a blood bank worker I’m always glad to help.
You even get a donor gift and snacks for donating. That’s a cool part of the experience.
Tips For Blood Donation
It’s best that it be your blood when you donate blood. If it’s someone else’s blood then it becomes a messy legal thing.
Today Is International Blood Donor Recruitment Professional’s Day
I work for Blood Assurance, a Chattanooga , Tennessee based regional blood bank as a Telerecruiter. That means that I’m on the phones every day asking donors to come in for another blood donation. I work with a team of people who like me are tasked with helping to insure a safe and adequate blood supply for the people and hospitals we serve. It’s not an easy job but it’s important work. Success comes from lives saved and making a connection with donors in the community who also want to help save lives with their blood donations.
Another Day To Donate Blood
There is a nationwide blood shortage and I’m doing what I can to help with that. Since I work for a blood bank it’s something that concerns me daily. Donating is a great thing to do and it’s easy. My next donation will be in November.
