Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s (BWH) Blood Donor Center and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s (DFCI) Kraft Family Blood Donor Center are members of the Joint Program in Transfusion Medicine (JPTM). Together these centers provide essential blood products to patients cared for in both institutions. The Kraft Center collects platelets; the BWH Donor Center collects whole blood and red cells. Combined, the two patient care facilities perform more than 60,000 transfusions annually.
Transfusions of blood and platelets are critical to helping patients return to health. There is no substitute for volunteer donors; patients count on people like you to help.
