serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank donors for their life-saving gifts of blood.

The need for blood is constant. According to the Red Cross:
⬩Every 2 seconds someone in the US needs blood.
⬩Every 15 seconds someone needs platelets.
⬩Approximately 29,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day in the U. S.
⬩Each pint of blood collected can help save up to 3 lives and will touch the lives of so many more.
⬩One in 7 hospital patients will need a blood transfusion for things like surgery, trauma, cancer treatment or Sickle Cell Anemia.

In support of CelebrateOne, the four Franklin County hospital systems are working together to support initiatives that reduce central Ohio’s infant mortality rate, including:

⬩Conducting chart reviews on every infant death to identify common trends.
⬩Implementing a quarterly audit to ensure that certain tasks are completed by frontline staff for every discharge from a maternity unit/NICU.
⬩Advancing a community conversation to identify and address gaps in how pregnant women access substance use treatment and related supports.

According to the American Red Cross, more than 350,000 people in the United States will suffer a cardiac arrest this year.

Heart disease, which can cause sudden cardiac arrest, is the 2nd leading cause of death among Franklin County residents aged 18-59 and the leading cause of death among adults aged 60 and older.

During a cardiac arrest emergency, the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automated external defibrillator) training can help save a life if a person's breathing or heart stops.

As we recognize CPR and AED Awareness Week, note that the American Red Cross offers training for a variety of services including CPR and AED. For more information on CPR/AED training or to take a class, visit https://loom.ly/OGM_E-4

The Healthcare Career Collaborative of Central Ohio, a partnership between the four Franklin County hospital systems facilitated by Aspyr Workforce Innovations, has created a website for insights on six priority healthcare careers as well as highlights for jobs available, salaries and area schools offering training for them.

Among these critical careers is the Respiratory Therapists. Respiratory Therapists are responsible for assessing, treating and managing patients with breathing disorders, providing therapies such as oxygen administration, nebulizer treatments and ventilator management.

Collectively, the four Franklin County hospital systems employed around 450 Respiratory Therapists in 2025, up from 290 in 2024, with a vacancy rate of 10%, down from 25% in 2024.

To explore Respiratory Therapist career opportunities, understand the educational requirements, skills and experience needed for success, or to connect with our hospital systems so you can talk to people who serve in these roles every day, visit https://loom.ly/XBm1qJw

May is Stroke Awareness Month. According to the American Heart Association, Stroke is the No. 2 cause of death worldwide and a leading cause of disability, despite stroke being largely preventable, treatable and beatable.

In Franklin County, strokes are more common among adults age 65+. While there are disparities between gender and racial groups, these are likely due in part to disparities in risk factors for stroke such as heart disease.

You are at risk for a stroke if you:
• Have high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood cholesterol, heart disease or a prior stroke
• Are from a family where others have had a stroke
• Are overweight
• Are inactive or do not exercise
• Have a lot of stress
• Eat foods high in cholesterol and fat
• Smoke or use to***co
• Drink too much alcohol
• Use street drugs
• Have a head injury or a bleeding disorder
