Partners for Life

Partners for Life

Organizations and community groups across Canada are helping to make a meaningful difference to patients in Canada through the Partners for Life program. As it can often take more than one donor to save a life, Partners for Life brings people together with the common goal of supporting the most vulnerable people in our communities. Together, people unite to help raise awareness, donate blood or plasma, or support the stem cell or organ donation registries.
