Vitalant exists to make a difference in people's lives. They are deeply committed to making a transformative difference, and ensuring patients have the blood they need to see tomorrow. Before COVID, we received word from our partners in Colorado that they responded to requests for additional blood from two of the three hospitals treating victims of the tragic STEM School Highland Ranch shooting. This response was in addition to the blood supply already on the shelves at those hospitals, ready and waiting for those who needed transfusions. This is possible because of the generosity of selfless donors.
