COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE NEWS

Charity and Awareness Events:

WHO NEEDS BLOOD?

Approximately every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. In fact, according to a recent poll, 52% of Canadians say they, or a family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or medical treatment.

The good news is that one blood donation, in just one hour, can save up to 3 lives!!

Skeans is proud to be a Canadian Blood Services sponsor and quarterly blood donator.

Organ donation is a selfless life saving opportunity to give life to someone you don't even know. Many of us question the 'How does it work', 'Can I donate if I've hade medical issues of my own?'
