I’d like to invite all those interested in 🩸anemia, transfusion, coagulation to join us in Minneapolis Sept 18-20 for the Society for the Advancement of Patient Blood Management (SABM) Annual Meeting. As a medium sized med professional society, we rely heavily on annual meeting attendance.

The GOP is where any semblance of longstanding principles go to die.
