In this episode we are joined by Andrea Haynes, Lab Director at MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center to talk about what happens when you donate blood. Nationally, there is a severe shortage of blood due to the pandemic’s effect on donations. We will learn: How are blood cells, platelets and plasma used in a hospital? What types of procedures need the most blood on hand? How does donating blood directly help your local community?
