Where Tradition and the New Millennium Meet



A Young Family's Story
Meet the Setterlunds

The Setterlund family

Elliot Health System
If blood was not right there when they needed it, I don't think they would be here today." - Jay Setterlund, pictured with wife Debbie and twins Jonathan and Christopher.

There are no words to express this family's gratitude. Jonathan and Christopher Setterlund came into the world prematurely. Weighing less than three pounds each, the infants suffered complications and required three blood transfusions within the first few days of their lives to help get oxygen through their tiny bodies. The availability of blood, donated by the generosity and kindness of strangers, literally meant life or death for these twins. There are no words to express the family's gratitude.
