Hospital Partners
Blood products are a vital part of the healthcare system, and we are proud to partner with local hospitals in our communities to strengthen patient care. We proudly provide blood products to more than 244 hospitals across Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas.
Reference Laboratory & Transfusion Services
The Reference Laboratory provides specialized testing on blood products to identify and supply rare blood products to those in need. Everyone has a specific set of antigens in their blood, some of which can be rare. If enough antigens are present, the patient will require a unit of blood from a donor who matches their unique profile. That’s where we come in!
Testing Lab
With every donation, our diligent laboratory staff performs dozen of tests to ensure blood products are safe and ready to be transfused to local patients. As a fully-licensed and certified laboratory, we maintain the highest standards and lead the nation in applying cutting-edge technology to create the safest blood products possible.
