|  Approximately
2200
people must donate blood each month for Blood
Bank of Alaska to assure an adequate supply for patients
in
area hospitals. That's about 75 units
of whole blood and plateletpheresis each day.
Statistics show that one out of every
three people will need a blood transfusion during their
lifetime.
Last year, thousands of patients received the “gift
of life” from our donors. Over 25,000 whole blood and
plateletpheresis donations were made to the Blood Bank of
Alaska. |
