Blood Bank

Every day, blood donors help patients off all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

• Cancer Patients: Platelet donations, help certain cancers and cancer treatments prevent patients from producing their own.
• Trauma Patients: Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body and are frequently given to trauma and surgery patients. 
• AB plasma is needed to help stop bleeding
• Sickle cell Patients: Whole blood, especially from African-American donors, because sickle cell patients require multiple transfusions and must be very closely matched to the donor’s blood type, usually from the same racial and ethnic group.
• Burn Patients: plasma helps maintain blood pressure and other vital functions.
• Patients with Chronic Diseases
