Read his Q&A as he joins his medical care team to recount his story and his second chance at life: http://spklr.io/6044s4EC Tim's remarkable survival story includes a life-saving blood transfusion, thanks to the generous donations from community members. We have two upcoming opportunities for blood donations. Sign up to reserve your appointment: ➞ Wednesday, August 28: http://spklr.io/6046s416 ➞ Thursday, August 29: http://spklr.io/6048s418 “I hope those reading this never need as much care as I received from Cooley Dickinson, but I also hope they feel heartened to know that world-class, life-saving care is right here in our community.” [Pictured: Tim Johnson, PhD (center) with his Cooley Dickinson care team (from left: Michelle Helms, MD, Ursula McMillian, MD, Adrian Daul, MD, Ann LeBrun, DNP, RN, and Kate Ring, RN]. #FlorenceMA

Cultural institutions leader. 🌱 I help nonprofits and nonprofit people craft and achieve their ambitious goals.
Personal post incoming… I am alive because of blood donors. 20 of them to be exact. I’ll share the story in the comments, but I want to help pay it forward by recruiting 20 new blood donations. If you are in the Northampton area, your next opportunity is August 28 and 29th during Cooley Dickinson Hospital’s next blood drive. If you can give please give. It just might be a healthy, 43 year old father of two whose life you save. And if you give because of this post, please let me know.
