Every local patient treated at every hospital in our 10-county service area relies exclusively on the generosity of We Are Blood platelet and blood donors.
The HERO+ program supports local first responder agencies including Austin-Travis County EMS and Williamson County EMS with more agencies in the process of implementation.
It’s no coincidence that these drives take place during the same dates as the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. As athletes compete for the gold in Paris, France, we invite our community to take the ultimate challenge – save our summer by donating blood at a YMCA near you.
In this We Are Family video, we chat with Jennifer Garza, drive coordinator at CWS Corporate Housing, to discuss the importance of hosting blood drives and the impact of blood donation on the community.
