The majority of blood donations are made by generous volunteer blood donors for anonymous patients.
Kentucky Blood Center, however, does provide an opportunity for you to donate for yourself prior to surgery, for a loved one who will require a transfusion in the near future or to help replenish the blood supply in the name of a particular patient.
Kentucky Blood Center also offers services for patients who need medically prescribed phlebotomies.
Leading by Example Awards
Kentucky Blood Center honored four area businesses with the 2009 Leading By Example Awards. East Kentucky Broadcasting in Pikeville, Clear Channel Radio in Somerset, and S&S Tire Auto Service Centers and Clean Sweep Car Wash in Lexington were recognized for their generous and continued dedication to Kentucky Blood Center and Kentucky blood donors.
Pikeville Bus Dedication
Thanks to the generosity of the United States Department of Agriculture, Kentucky Blood Center has a new bloodmobile to use for community blood collections in the Pikeville region. The bus was dedicated at a recent Pike County Chamber of Commerce's After Hours.
