During February's Heart Health Awareness Month, ImpactLife reminds donors that blood transfusions are essential for lifesaving surgery and other interventions for patients with heart disease. Ongoing treatment of heart disease is among the leading reasons blood transfusions are given to patients, particularly those who require surgery or develop anemia.
