National Blood Donor Month
January, as National Blood Donor Month, is a great time to schedule a donation, when blood is usually in short supply. President Richard Nixon proclaimed it on December 31, 1969, making January 1970 the first National Blood Donor Month. Currently, only three percent of eligible Americans donate blood, despite 65 percent being eligible, and given the current state of blood donations, younger and more diverse donors are urgently needed.
