e of our own, Heather Ell
ison, has been a blood donor for 12 years. Heather believes in giving back to others through the donation of blood. After one of Heather's regular donations, she received a call asking her to participate in a story of a young man that had a car accident. He had received one of her pints of blood just donated days prior to the accident. This was no ordinary accident, he was thrown from a car traveling over 100 miles per hour. He landed over 40 feet away from the car and was sent by medi-flight to OU Medical Center.
We are very proud of Heather and her commitment to others through her donations of blood. The Oklahoma Blood Institute is always needing volunteers.Click on the link if you have any questions about where or how to give blood. Click Here.
