Welcome to the LifeSouth Community |
|
LifeSouth Community Blood Centers is a community blood supplier for local hospitals in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. LifeSouth is committed to meeting the blood supply needs of these hospitals in each of the communities we serve by providing the highest quality blood components and services. Each year, nearly five million Americans need a blood transfusion. To meet our responsibility, we need to collect 266,000 blood donations a year. That’s 728 donors a day. With over 30 donor centers, 37 blood mobiles and over 1,000 blood drives a month, our LifeSouth team is committed to making sure the blood is there when you or your family member is in need. We are your community blood center. The blood supply collected from our donors directly serves the needs of patients at over 120 medical facilities throughout our footprint. The blood donated here will stay in our community for local patient transfusion. Only if our local supply is met will LifeSouth share our blood resources with other communities. There are no substitutes for blood. Patients who need blood transfusions to survive depend on volunteer donors who give the gift of life. As a community blood center serving the community’s needs, we ask everyone to join us in a commitment to grow this community’s blood supply. We promise to partner with businesses and provide dynamic, fun and innovative blood donor recruitment programs. We promise to use every resource we have to uphold our commitment to meet the community’s needs for blood. Volunteering to give blood is giving the gift of life. We hold this gift with the highest regard. Please consider becoming a part of our community’s blood supply by donating blood with LifeSouth. |

A Twin Lesson in Blood Donation
June 24, 2008 Joycelyn Collett holds her new twin daughters, Natalie snoozing on the left and wide awake Kylie on the right. The twins were born May 20.
(Alphratta, GA) Look at the photo of Jocelyn Collett holding her twins and it will answer the question, "Does donating blood make a difference?" Collett works for LifeSouth Community Blood Centers as the Georgia District Training Director in the Atlanta office. Without Blood, she wouldn't be here to rock her new arrivals, and they would never have gotten to know their mom. | |
