Why Are Blood Donors So Important to the Community?

Each day, Hoxworth Blood Center needs to collect at least 450 units of blood and 40 units of apheresis platelets to meet the needs of patients in the Tri-State area. Once testing and processing is complete, the units are dispersed to over 30 area hospitals served by Hoxworth, where they are transfused to patients with a variety of medical needs. 

The rarest blood type is the one NOT on the shelf when it is needed. Therefore, we need blood donors of ALL blood types to make regular donations so that we can ensure a safe and adequate blood supply for the communities we serve.
