“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” ~Maya Angelou

The Exercise

Make a reservation to donate blood on Valentine’s Day. It’s the red thing to do.

Yes, I know you hate needles and an hour and 15 minutes of your time is asking a lot. It is.

But, every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood and less than 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to give blood.

The JOYS

Not only do you get a mini-physical and learn your blood type, your one donation can help save the lives of up to three people.

Tools You Can Use

• Here’s the how, why and where you can donate blood.
• Now that you know your blood type, creating your Medical Emergency Information Alert Card will be easy-peasy. You can use JOYS Medical Emergency Wallet Card or create a Medical Emergency Information Alert Card with MedIds or there just might be a My Medical app for that.
