Blood Donor Center
Give Blood or Platelets. Give Life. Give Today.
Family and friends can give blood and platelets directly to their loved one.
City of Hope patients — most of whom are fighting cancer — rely on more than 37,000 units of blood and platelets each year for their survival. And every one of those units comes from people like you — family, friends and other caring individuals who want to make a difference.
Blood and platelet donations save lives every day at City of Hope. Watch the fascinating process as our scientists prepare donations for transfusion.
Double Platelet Donation = two gifts
Triple Platelet Donation = three gifts
