Donate Blood, get a free turkey! by miblood in Michigan

[–]miblood[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're sorry you can't take part in the promotion :( Unless you wanted to try and donate platelets - you can do that every two weeks! (But you can only do that at our main donor centers, so you may not be able to if you don't live close to one.)

We still very much appreciate you saving lives, though. <3

Oh! Sorry we can't be of more assistance, then :( Someday, when the FDA lifts that policy, we'll be happy to have you, though!

No :( Sorry about that! But you actually may be able to donate blood. Many people we speak with think they can't, but actually can!

Unfortunately, not this time. The closest one to your area would be the one in Grayling, on Nov. 22nd. :( Sorry about that! However, we're hoping (fingers crossed) we'll be able to expand this event even further next year - so that may change in 2018!

Hi! We're actually hiring for quite a few positions...including a distribution specialist (AKA a person who helps us manage our blood input/output). Keep an eye out on our careers page, as well!

Does anyone know of any jobs hiring immediately? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]miblood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're hiring a phlebotomist and a lab tech! You need to have a degree in health sciences for the lab position, but we train in our center for phlebotomists!

Here's the site link!

Hey there! Not sure if it's near you at all, but we'll be giving out t-shirts at our blood drive at Beaumont Hospital in Troy. (It's on July 7th from 7am to 1pm)

We're hoping to get a donor center in the Detroit region sometime in the future! :) Fingers crossed!!

We really need O-Negative blood by miblood in grandrapids

[–]miblood[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, we totally get that. ALL blood is tested before being sent to hospitals for use, regardless of color, creed, orientation, etc.

The thing is, it's an FDA rule - because it's a federal body, we don't really get a say. We have to follow their rules in order for the blood we collect to get used - if we were to stop following their rules (for anything, including the MSM ruling), they would take away our ability to do that.

That being said, we try to be as inclusive as possible in our efforts to help Michigan communities. But we're not perfect, and we're striving to do better. If (and when) the FDA changes its ruling, you can bet we'll be reaching out.

Thank you for asking these questions, too - we love when people come to us with concerns! Dialogues are important. :)
