Idea for a New Year's Resolution: Be a Regular Blood Donor

A blood drive reminds us that we have so much to be thankful for— especially our health. Every blood donor is a potential lifesaver. Every unit of whole blood collected is typically separated into blood’s components-- platelets, plasma, cryoprecipitate, and red cells-- and can benefit up to three patients.

Bloodworks supports 90 hospitals in the Northwest. Blood is needed every day to meet the needs of patients having surgery, organ transplants, receiving cancer treatment, or therapies for blood disorders.

Bloodworks needs 30 donors right now. Can you be one of them?
