Mr. Holtz, let Vein Access Technologies improve the 'blood donation procedure' for your Techs and your Donors. VAT's STEM-method for the venipuncture and for the POC finger stick blood collection improve the success rate of the donation, reduces the compromise and failure rate, & improves the likelihood of a repeat donation. Current POC methods result in hemolysis of the blood sample, falsely indicating they are 'anemic', when they aren't. The new VAT method (gravity method) does NOT causes hemolysis - ACCURATE RESULTS follow. Current venipuncture methods frequently cause vein rupture, bruising, pain, fear - and sometimes long term recovery (from what should have been an inspirational donation), not to mention the occasional permanent injury. Not all veins are created equal; and not all veins should be stuck. PLEASE - THERE IS NOTHING TO LOSE by investigating VATmethod.com Or visit STEM21cVA.com for the science of it - The Science Behind the Skill of Vein Access for Blood Donation book describes it all. This is a new era for ARC, with a new leader - it's time for a new/next generation venipuncture and POC blood collection. 😊

70 years in business… A milestone few family-owned businesses reach, and even fewer sustain across 3 generations. MacDonald’s Flooring celebrates 70 years of serving South Florida’s commercial and residential flooring needs. It’s a company that has thrived purely through word of mouth and long-lasting relationships. But it’s not just about the business—it’s about the man, Dave O'Connell, and the team behind him. Recently, I received a message from a business leader I respect: “I’ve got to pay your dad a big compliment. At lacrosse, a few of the other dads were talking about what it means to ‘win’ as a father. We agreed it’s when your family chooses to come home and spend time together as adults. There are two families that really exemplify this, and yours is one of them. Tell your dad he’s setting the example for all of us 30-40-something dads today—we all recognize a legend.” If that doesn’t capture my dad’s character, I don’t know what does. He’s not only respected as a family man but trusted for delivering quality work for 70 years. With my husband John Elletson next in line taking the reins, the future is bright. Here’s to continuing the legacy of excellence, integrity, and family values for generations to come. #southflorida #leadership #familybusiness
