The American Red Cross recognizes TVH Americas

TVH in the Americas (TVH), Olathe, Kan., has been presented with the Outstanding Service Award from the American Red Cross through their Blood Partner Program for the fifth year in a row. In 2020, the Red Cross experienced thousands of canceled blood drives around the country. Throughout the year, TVH hosted three blood drives at their Olathe location with the Red Cross to help with the need for blood donations.

Through their blood drives and with the help of their employees, a total of 129 units of blood was donated. This amount is the equivalent of helping 387 people in the community. TVH is looking forward to hosting their three annual blood drives again in 2021. 

“The internal joy of helping others is what all the donors embrace and is what brings joy to the act of donation,” said Lucy Delsarto, TVH health and wellness coach. “Too often, we tell ourselves ‘there's nothing I can do to make a difference,’ and that simply is not true. If you are interested in donating blood, you can do so any time with the Red Cross by visiting any of their Blood Centers across the country.”
