Needing Blood
Most of us will require a blood transfusion at some point in our lives. Blood Centers of the Pacific provides needed blood for a population of more than 2.2 million. To do this, BCP needs approximately 500 pints of blood daily.
In order to assure that patients who need blood can have access to it immediately, there must be a ready supply on hospital shelves. After natural disasters and other tragedies, people tend to donate more blood. However, it is the people who donate regularly whose blood saves lives during emergency situations because it is there waiting on the hospital shelves.

- Cancer treatment
- Heart and blood vessel disease
- Disease of the gastrointestinal tract
- Emergencies such as auto accidents and burns
- Organ transplant
