Local Dermatology Clinic Hosts Successful American Red Cross Blood Drive on Veterans Day to Help With Blood Shortage

ROSEVILLE, Minn., Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Local dermatology clinic, Tareen Dermatology proudly hosted the American Red Cross for a community blood drive on Veterans Day. The event drew a strong turnout of Tareen Dermatology staff, patients, and community members, collectively donating approximately 30 pints of blood, making a significant impact for patients in need.

The blood drive took place at Tareen Dermatology's Roseville office headquarters. Tareen Dermatology staff and patients donated along with community members to honor veterans by contributing to the lifesaving mission of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross has an estimate that every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood or platelets and approximately 29,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day in the United States.

"We are so grateful for the generosity of our donors, who contributed approximately one pint of blood each, which showcases the spirit of giving that defines our community. We hope that this is a good reminder for people to go and donate blood," said, Dr. Mohiba Tareen, Board Certified Dermatologist and Founder of Tareen Dermatology.

Over the last year, there has been a blood shortage across the country due to fewer donors, weather events, and seasonal travel. Tareen Dermatology is committed to doing their part to help create awareness for blood donation with the American Red Cross and the important role blood donation plays in saving lives every day.
