UCLA Blood & Platelet Center

Description

In the amount of time it takes you to read this sentence, someone will need blood.

That's right, every three seconds someone needs blood. Your willingness to donate ensures that when blood is needed, blood is there. The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, made up of both the Westwood and Santa Monica facilities, uses over 100,000 units of blood yearly. Your donation allows us to keep our blood supply healthy. You may not think that doing something as simple and safe as donating blood makes you a hero, but we do; and so do the patients whose lives depend on blood donors like you. Giving blood is a simple process that won't take more than an hour of your time, but will effect a patient for the rest of their lives.
