Arizona is always in need of blood donations as many states are. Donating blood can help save a life. 

Every day in the U.S., patients in hospitals, surgical centers and emergency treatment facilities need approximately:

  • 36,000 units of red blood cells
  • 7,000 units of platelets
  • 10,000 units of plasma
About 6.8 million volunteers give blood in the U.S., which is nearly 26 percent fewer donors than at the beginning of this decade. The result is nearly 4.2 million fewer donations each year.
