The need for blood is great--on any given day, approximately 38,000 units of Red Blood Cells are needed. Accident victims, people undergoing surgery, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer, or other diseases, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia, all utilize blood. More than 26.5 million units of blood components are transfused every year. If you would like to donate blood, please use the locator below.

As a patient and recipient of a blood transfusion, it is important that you receive the highest standard of care and the safest blood possible. The American Association of Blood Banks' (AABB) mission is to protect patients and the nation's blood supply. The AABB sets standards for blood banks and transfusion services, and accredits member blood banks and transfusion services that meet these high standards. If you would like to donate blood or are in need of a blood transfusion as part of an upcoming surgery or therapy, be sure to consider an AABB-accredited hospital.
