September may be Sickle Cell Awareness Month, but our commitment to supporting those with sickle cell disease lasts all year long. Earlier this year, Yadira Navarro, Director of Community and Stakeholder Relations, attended the Sickle Cell Awareness Foundation Corporation International's (SCAFCI) annual Educational Research Symposium at NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens. While there, she highlighted our collaborative efforts with SCAFCI and the essential role of a healthy blood supply in supporting chronically transfused patients.

One thing about our team... we're going above and beyond for our donors every chance we get! 🌠 Donor Experience Representative, Tim Boyle, and Team Leader Mario Paredes recently arranged an 300th donation milestone celebration for Donor Lenny Yam at our Lake Success Center. Tim and Mario ordered, bought, and picked up the cake, coordinated the surprise, and even made the commemorative sign for our donor to have as a keepsake. Thank you, Tim and Mario, for making Lenny's 300th donation so special. Nobody loves their donors like our team! ❤️ #TeamHighlight #DonorExperience #BloodDonation #LakeSucess

“We call summer like a trauma season because a lot more blood transfusions happen: there are more injuries, more people get into accidents, a lot of things happen during the summer.” - Chantal Mehu, New York Blood Center Team Leader We are still facing a critical blood shortage, with the lowest inventory of O positive and O negative blood since before the pandemic.
