Does your family know what to do when it matters most? 🏠

A little planning now can make a big difference later. Set aside time to create an emergency plan together, pick a meeting spot 📍, talk through what to do in different situations, and make sure everyone’s needs are covered, including kids, older family members and pets. ❤️

Then practice it. A plan only works if everyone knows it. ✅

🎉 Today, we honor Dr. Charles R. Drew on his birthday. A pioneer in blood banking whose groundbreaking work helped transform modern blood donation and save countless lives. 🩸

Dr. Drew’s legacy lives on through every donor, every volunteer and every patient helped because someone chose to give.

It's National CPR and AED Awareness Week (June 1–7) — and the most important thing to know is this: most cardiac emergencies happen at home. 🏠

That means the people most likely to need your help are the ones you love most.

You don't need to be a medical professional to save a life. Hands-only CPR is something anyone can learn, and knowing where to find a nearby AED could make all the difference in those critical first minutes.

Here's where to start:
❤️ Learn hands-only CPR
📍 Locate AEDs in your home, workplace and community
📚 Take a CPR class — in person or online

Every second counts. Take a class today and be ready when it matters most:

🐶 Taking your furry friend for a ride this summer? 🚗 Keep them safe by never leaving them locked in the car — even for a quick errand! On warm days, temperatures inside a vehicle can climb to 120 degrees or higher in minutes (even in the shade). That kind of heat can quickly lead to heat stroke or worse for your pet.

If you need to make a stop, it’s safest to leave your pets at home. ❤️
