Patients at City of Hope® — most of them fighting cancer — depend on donations of 37,000 units of blood and platelets each year for their very survival. Every one of those units comes from someone like you: a person who wants to make a difference. At City of Hope, we make it simple for you to share this life‑saving gift. That’s why we created the Michael Amini Transfusion Medicine Center, a recognized leader in apheresis, donor matching and marrow transplants. Located on the Duarte campus, this LEED‑certified facility is one of the largest hospital‑based donor centers in the country. Here, in a safe and caring environment, families, friends and generous community members donate vital blood and platelets.
Join a donation program that helps others in thousands of meaningful ways.
