Blood Donations at UC Davis Health
UC Davis Health is proud to partner with the American Red Cross to provide vitally important blood products to the patients under our care.
Nearly 6,000 patients receive blood transfusions through UC Davis Transfusion Services each year. According to the Red Cross, every donation can save up to three lives.
In addition to supplying blood products to all five University of California health systems, the Red Cross also manages the American Rare Donor Registry, which makes rare blood accessible to patients who need it around the world.
