We talked with Lauren Reagan in Vancouver, WA during our next stop on the 1000 Thank Yous Tour. Lauren first heard about Bloodworks Northwest eight years ago when her son was admitted to the hospital for acute myeloid leukemia. In the two years of his treatment, her son received 76 red cell units and 108 platelets. Lauren now works at Bloodworks and sees the impact that the community has when our blood supply is low. #BloodworksNW #1000THANKYOUs #ChrisCashman
