The need for blood affects us all, and the demand for vital blood donations remains constant. Each and every day, blood donations are needed to sustain Mass General patients. The largest transfuser of blood in the region, Mass General transfuses approximately 70,000 blood components each year to patients at Mass General and its affiliates. Treatment of cancer, organ transplantation, and surgery all depend on the availability of a safe and adequate blood supply.
The MGH Blood Donor Center collection efforts support patients at MGH, Shriners Burn Institute, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, and the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children. MGH is a world-renowned hospital, increasing its activity in transplant surgery and cancer treatment-two fields, which use significant amounts of blood. MGH collects blood and blood products through the MGH Blood Donor Center and its traveling bloodmobiles.
Donors must be at least 16 years of age (with parental permission), weigh 110 pounds or more, and be in general good health in addition to other eligibility criteria.
