  • Did you know that platelets support blood clotting and give those with leukemia and other cancers a chance to live?
  • Did you know that blood loss victims of car accidents may need transfusions of 50 pints or more of red blood cells?
  • More than 25% of the blood supply is used by cancer patients.

"The need for blood is ongoing, but COVID-19 has destroyed the foundation on which the community donates blood to patients served by New York Blood Center.

Every week, more than 75,000 blood donations and 1,700 donated platelet units are needed to meet patient need. To ensure we are prepared to support health agencies in our communities and across the country, NYBCe strongly urges individuals who feel healthy and well to make an appointment at a donor center or find a new community blood drive.
