Banc de Sang i Teixits

La Yaiza Cumelles té tota la raó: els hospitals no tanquen per vacances i els pacients no poden prendre's dies lliures de la seva malaltia. Segueixen necessitant transfusions de sang. Així que, abans de marxar de vacances, vine a donar sang i ajuda a salvar vides! ❤️

El Banc de Sang de l’Hospital Mútua de Terrassa va rebre una visita molt especial i divertida! 🎉 L’Associació de Nans i Capgrossos ha volgut fer una crida als ciutadans per animar-los a donar sang abans de marxar de vacances, ja que a l’estiu les donacions baixen aproximadament un 30%! Així que preneu exemple dels Nans i Capgrossos i veniu a donar 😊 Moltes gràcies per la visita, fins la propera! ❤️ #DonarSang#Terrassa #nansicapgrossos #HospitalMutuaDeTerrassa

OBRIM TOT L’ESTIU | Al Banc de sang no tanquem mai. Els punts de donació continuen oberts per vacances, ens trobaràs a prop d’on siguis, i veuràs que hem reforçat campanyes en locals considerats ‘refugis climàtics’ perquè la calor no t’impedeixi donar. Facis o no facis vacances, no oblidis que juliol i agost són mesos en els quals milers de pacients continuen necessitant donacions. Estiuis on estiuis de Catalunya, trobaràs una campanya o un centre fix on podràs donar sang. ✨ Ho posem fàcil: algunes d’aquestes campanyes es duen terme en diversos punts de les platges de tota la costa catalana, així que després de gaudir del 🌊, pots fer una parada i fer la teva donació (però amb una condició: has d’hidratar-te molt!). Si prefereixes les escapades a la muntanya 🏔️ també hi haurà punts de donació en diverses zones turístiques de muntanya. I si tens pensat viatjar, passa a veure’ns abans 🛫 Apunta't! https://lnkd.in/d4nUuvMG

El passat dimarts vam participar a la jornada “Compromesos: Més Consciència Social, Més Valor Empresarial” 🤝. La jornada va ser organitzada per Foment del Treball Nacional amb la voluntat de donar visibilitat a les entitats que treballem per donar suport a tres causes comunes: la investigació en el camp sanitari 🧬, l'atenció als col·lectius més vulnerables 🤲, i la formació i inserció laboral 👩🏫; i amb l'objectiu també d'enfortir les relacions entre les entitats i el sector privat 🤝. Vam participar 21 entitats en 3 taules rodones i des del Banc de Sang i Teixits de la mà de Roser Vallès Navarro, vam estar presents a la Taula de Salut per explicar la nostra missió i el repte del projecte per l’autosuficiència en plasma a Catalunya 🩸. Aquest espai de presentació dels projectes i de networking ens ha permès compartir experiències i explorar oportunitats de futures col·laboracions 🌐.
