Double Red Cells
Your red cells can be given to all B and AB patients, so this kind of donation has the greatest impact.

Platelets
Your blood type is rare, so your platelets make a big difference!
![Whole Blood](https://www.carterbloodcare.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whole-blood@3x.png)
Whole Blood
B- patients can only receive B- and O- blood, so your donation is vital to help other B- patients.
Interested in donating double red cells, platelets, or whole blood? Read more about each donation type, or ask your phlebotomist for details. 🙂
These are the ideal donation types based on your blood type, but because hospital patient needs change daily, you may be asked to give a different donation type at your next donation appointment.
