Every plasma donation begins with a simple principle: donor safety is the top priority. From the moment a donor walks into a plasma collection center, multiple layers of safeguards are in place. ‍Read more about the safety measures the plasma industry takes in the latest PPTA blog: pptaglobal.org/material/donor…

“For people like me, the generosity of blood and plasma donors can mean the difference between a dangerous, life-threatening episode and living a more normal life. Every donation makes it possible for individuals living with complex and rare conditions to live longer, healthier lives. Still, awareness, timely access, and affordability are just as important, as these treatments can only make a difference if they are available when needed.” Read CalPlasma Ambassador, Darlene’s story here. tinyurl.com/43v8mxx4 #CalPlasma #DonatePlasma #PlasmaSavesLives #PlasmaPowerStory
