Carter BloodCare Dedicated to our Community Michelle Stefan Vice President of Corporate and Community Resources September 23, 2013 We are community Carter BloodCare is the largest community blood center in Texas. We are a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization: – Licensed by the Food and Drug Administration – Accredited by the AABB, and – A member of America’s Blood Centers 2 Our philosophy •Carter BloodCare is guided by the philosophy that community blood donations should benefit community patients, and that blood centers must be responsive to the community that supports them. 3 What we do We partner with local volunteer blood donors within north, central and east Texas to provide the gift of life to patients in need. We collect, process, test, store and distribute blood products to hospitals and healthcare facilities that are located in the communities where we host blood drives. 4 Why we do it Every 90 seconds someone in the Carter BloodCare service area needs blood. Daily, 600 to 800 people in our community will need a blood transfusion to survive. 38% of the total population is eligible to give blood at any given time, but less than 4% actually does. Every pint of blood can help save at least three lives because it can be processed into: red cells, plasma, and platelets. 5 Service CarterArea BloodCare •58 counties •8 million people •>200 healthcare facilities •We distribute >500,000 blood components a year. •More than 90% of all blood transfused to patients in our service area. •We must register 1,100 donors a day to meet patient needs. service area Anderson Angelina Bell Bosque Camp Cherokee Collin Cooke Coryell Dallas Delta Denton Eastland Ellis Erath Falls Franklin Freestone Gregg Hamilton Harrison Henderson Hill Hood Hopkins Houston Hunt Jack Johnson Kaufman Lamar Lampasas Leon Limestone Marion McLennan Montague Morris Navarro Palo Pinto Panola Parker Rains Red River Rockwall Rusk Shelby Smith Somervell Stephens Tarrant Titus Trinity Upshur Van Zandt Wise Wood Young 6 How blood donors save lives •Blood is made up of three main components. Each component serves different functions and allows one unit of blood to help several patients. Red cells – help trauma patients and those undergoing heart bypass or organ transplant surgery. Plasma – replaces the blood volume lost by a burn victim or the victim of a trauma accident. Platelets – involved in blood clotting; also critical in the treatment of cancer and leukemia. 7 Blood components 8 Blood components Plasma Red Blood Cells Platelet Rich Plasma Platelet concentrate 9 Blood types – percent in population 10 Does blood have a shelf life? Red cells can live for 42 days. Platelets last only 5 days. Plasma can be frozen for up to 1 year. 11 Declining Civic Engagement (Putnam R.D.
