 Other blood banks
Because the generosity of our donors is known across the nation, BloodSource provides blood to other blood banks when called upon.
When weather conditions keep donors away from their local centers; when hospitals offering specialized medicine, like cancer treatment, need large volumes of blood to treat all patients in need; when natural disasters or acts of terrorism result in calls for help, BloodSource is committed to help wherever and whenever needed.
Worldwide advancement
We are extremely proud of our history of innovation. The new procedures and techniques developed in cooperation with our many physicians, scientists, nurses, specialists, volunteers and donors have proved invaluable in the practice of medicine throughout the world.
We will continue to dedicate the resources needed to remain on the forefront of transfusion medicine and share in the successes of our specialists - and the entire medical community - for their work on life-saving advances.
Professional training
BloodSource physicians regularly offer professional training and education courses to area physicians, nurses and medical technologists. These courses provide continuing education credits and are typically offered free of charge or for a nominal fee.
Emergency response
Natural disasters, disease, accidents, acts of terrorism, or military conflict often require instant mobilization to provide the necessary blood. BloodSource is one of the lead centers called upon to assist with emergencies, whether local or in other parts of the nation.
Specialized testing
BloodSource is consistently one of the first to develop or adopt new testing methodologies.
The BloodSource HLA laboratory is one of the most highly acclaimed in the world. "HLA typing" is essential for organ and marrow/blood stem cell transplants. More and more people are alive today because of advances in complex tissue typing.
The BloodSource Reference Laboratory is one of only about 50 accredited in the U.S. to handle complex blood compatibility testing.
Medical consultation
In addition to serving on hospital transfusion committees, BloodSource physicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to offer transfusion-related consultation services to other medical professionals and/or oversee therapeutic apheresis procedures. The BloodSource team of physicians offers strong clinical expertise to the medical community.
Military support
In the past, BloodSource has been called upon to provide blood to American troops engaged in military conflict. In the event we are called upon in the future, the fulfillment of our obligation is not a statement of politics or support of war. Rather, it is a statement of compassionate giving from our donors to all men and women who need blood – wherever and whenever the need.
Corporate partnership
BloodSource is extremely grateful to the many local corporations that provide time, talent and financial resources – so that together, we can benefit our community through blood drives, special events and underwriting of vital equipment.
Please contact Leslie Botos at 916.453.3713 if you are interested in discussing opportunities for corporate partnership with BloodSource.
Doing what’s right
Since 1948, BloodSource has been committed to doing what’s right. This simple philosophy helped BloodSource to grow from a single blood bank beneath a water tower in Sacramento to one of the premier organizations of its kind in the world. Over the years, thousands of donors and volunteers have given their time, talent, and life-giving blood. Through it all, our community-based, not-for-profit, regional blood center has never lost sight of its essential mission: to provide blood and services to those in need.
