Congresswoman Beatty Celebrates 50th National Blood Donor Month

January is National Blood Donor Month, celebrating the generous Americans who help save lives by donating blood and blood platelets. To honor the 50^th anniversary of National Blood Donor Month, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) said:

"A single blood donation—one hour of donated time and energy—can save up to three lives. That is why I encourage every American to give blood if they are able, as this simple act can truly change lives."
