The UNIVERSAL Donor
As an O- blood donor, you are the universal red cell donor. That is because your red blood cells can be transfused to any patient, regardless of the recipient’s blood type. However, only 7% of the population has this versatile blood type.
When seconds count, emergency room doctors often do not have time to determine the blood type of the patient and will depend on O- blood to help save lives in these situations. Because of this, your blood type is in the highest demand.
We count on your donations to help those with compromised immune systems like cancer patients or even premature babies who need a transfusion.
