Whole Blood

What's in Whole Blood?

Think of whole blood like a living system that keeps the body alive.

Red Blood Cells (RBCs) carry oxygen throughout your body.

White Blood Cells (WBCs) help fight germs and infections.

Platelets help stop bleeding by forming clots.

Plasma carries nutrients, hormones, and proteins.

Every donation helps save lives in emergency care.

One whole blood donation can help up to three patients because it is separated into red blood cells, plasma, and platelets after collection.

The actual donation only takes 5–10 minutes.

Trauma patients after accidents or injuries.

Surgical patients during or after procedures.

Postpartum patients needing rapid blood replacement.

Emergency cases requiring massive transfusion support.

It's the fastest way to restore what the body loses in emergencies.

Whole blood replaces red cells, plasma, and platelets all at once when every second matters.

You must be in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, and pass standard screenings.
