February is National Heart Month

February is National Heart Month, and the American Red Cross urges you to take a class that could save a life, says Suzanne Lawler, Regional Communications Manager for the American Red Cross.

Lawler adds that the winter weather continues to affect the national blood supply. 

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds, and provides comfort to victims of disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members, and their families. The Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to deliver its mission. For more information, visit redcross.org.
