August is National Wellness Month, which means it’s time to make self-care a priority and build healthy routines by making a blood donation with LifeServe Blood Center this month.
Each blood donation can impact up to three lives in your community. But did you know that donating blood can also help you stay aware of your own health? Each donation includes a mini health screening, where staff measure your blood pressure, pulse, and temperature, and perform tests to check your cholesterol and hemoglobin level. These tests can help catch health issues you might not even know about.
If any of your results are outside the normal range, LifeServe will let you know so you can follow up with your own provider. Donors can track their health history and each donation in their LifeServe Donor Portal. In this way, donating blood doesn’t just help someone in need, it also gives you a window into your own health.
This National Wellness Month, start a new healthy habit of donating blood to benefit your health and your community.
