 Due to increased accidents, traumas, and surgeries – our hospitals currently have a greater need for blood products than they have since before COVID-19. Additionally, since the outbreak of COVID-19, there have been severe blood shortages in the Southern Tier and throughout New York over concerns that it might not be safe to go to blood donation centers. Giving blood is safe.
We have been hosting bi-monthly drives, and ConnectLife has implemented precautions to minimize the number that gives at one time to ensure the safety of donors and staff members, including requiring donors to make an appointment.
ConnectLife currently has less than a 3 day supply of critical blood types and needs your help to stock the shelves at our hospitals. Please take the time to give. To make an appointment to donate, please click here.

Also, 2020 marks ENA's 50th anniversary, Year of the Nurse and Florence Nightingale's 200th anniversary were all supposed to make 2020 the ultimate celebration for nurses. During a difficult year, they have all risked their health to treat patients and have truly put their hearts of gold on display for the world to see.
Be sure to wish all Emergency Nurses a happy Emergency Nurses Week and thank them for everything they do to keep their community safe!
