Lexus of Las Vegas and Lexus of Henderson want to support our community in every way we can. There is always a great need for blood donations. This life-saving opportunity to give back will be hosted at our dealerships.
Why do people donate?
Donating is a generous thing to do. It helps people in need, and it helps people in your community. When you give, others live. Donors, especially those who donate regularly, keep our nation’s blood supply stable. Although many people donate blood after disasters, blood is needed every day of the year.
There is no substitute for blood. Donors provide the only supply of life-saving blood for those in need.
Donating is simple, fast, and convenient. The donation process can take as little as 45 minutes of your time, but can make a lifelong difference for someone else.
How is my blood used?
There are different kinds of blood donation. Each one is used for a variety of life-saving procedures and treatments. If you donate blood, it will be given to someone who needs it through a blood transfusion, one of the most common procedures in U.S. hospitals. Transfusions help replace blood that is lost due to surgery, trauma, or injury. They also help people with blood disorders, such as sickle cell disease or chronic anemia caused by kidney failure or bleeding in the stomach or ailments that prevent them from making blood correctly or with immune issues that require replacements of parts of the blood. Platelets are most often used to treat cancer. They are also given to patients who have open-heart surgery and organ transplants. Plasma transfusions are used for patients with liver failure, bad infections, and serious burns. “Whole blood” is usually given to people who have life-threatening injuries or people in surgery.\
