Nurse mobilizes blood donations to honor colleague<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amid intense shifts caring for ICU patients during a COVID-19 surge, nurses at UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital took turns visiting a blood bus one Saturday to honor Samantha Hadlock, a nurse colleague who works alongside them in the ICU.<\/p>\n

For months, Hadlock has received blood transfusions while experiencing anemia, and doctors haven\u2019t yet found the cause. She’s continued to work in the ICU, serving a vital role as the pandemic led to staffing shortages and record hospital capacities across Colorado and the United States<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ICU has such an incredible team, and this blood drive is an example of that,\u201d Hadlock said during a blood drive in her honor on Sept. 11. \u201cThey spend hours each week helping patients get through the darkest days of COVID-19 and are still willing to drop everything to come donate blood on their day off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inspired by her colleague, fellow ICU nurse Amanda Hall wanted to find a way to honor and support Hadlock.<\/p>\n

\u201cI originally wanted to donate to Samy because we have the same blood type,\u201d Hall said. \u201cI thought it would be a nice, genuine way to thank Samy for all her hard work this year, and continuing to show up for us in the ICU even when she hasn\u2019t felt well.\u201d<\/p>\n

After learning federal guidelines prohibit sharing with donors and recipients who receives which blood units, Hall started donating blood to Garth Englund Blood Center. She asked Hadlock if she was OK with her organizing the PVH ICU Community Blood Drive in her honor to encourage others to donate.<\/p>\n

The schedule for the blood drive Sept. 11 filled up, so they scheduled a second event Sept. 29<\/a>. Over 20 nurses, among others, volunteered to donate their blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamily, friends and co-workers have signed up that have never donated before, which will hopefully bring further donations in the future,\u201d Hadlock said.<\/p>\n

Bridget Aesoph, blood donor recruiter with Garth Englund Blood Center, said demand for blood is significant, particularly during an ongoing national shortage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ICU nurses are exceptional in so many ways. When they are not on the front line saving lives, they are also behind the scenes saving lives for those in the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

PVH ICU Nurse Manager Lydia Baldwin, who signed up to donate blood, said the nurses\u2019 initiative is impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamy and Mandy are both amazing critical care nurses who provide clinical expertise with compassion and kindness towards others in need,\u201d Baldwin said. \u201cTheir work and the efforts to coordinate this event reflect their commitment to the wellbeing of others, perseverance amidst the tumult and hope for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall said Aesoph made it easy to organize the blood drive. On Sept. 11, both Hall and Hadlock sat outside the mobile Garth Englund mobile blood unit parked in front of PVH. They wore shirts Hadlock designed with a blood drop, a heart and the words \u201cImproving lives one drop at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall had just finished an overnight shift in the ICU, and Hadlock that morning was admitted as a patient at PVH receiving multiple blood transfusions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is awesome that so many people are coming together for something so important to me,\u201d Hadlock said.<\/p>\n
