|  Approximately
3000 people must donate
blood each month for Blood Bank of Alaska to assure an
adequate supply for patients in area hospitals.
That's about 100 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 are made to the Blood Bank of Alaska
each year. |
