You’re O-!
Watch this video to learn how your blood type and ideal donation support patient transfusion needs.
Your best donation types are...
Double Red Cells
Your blood type is considered universal for patients receiving red cells — everyone can utilize your double red cell donations!
Whole Blood
Only 1 in 11 people are O-, so your whole blood donations are in high demand for other O- patients.
Interested in donating double red cells 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.
