Donate Plasma
Your plasma donation can help save lives!
Please consider donating plasma today.
Plasma is the clear, yellow-colored liquid part of blood that makes up about 55% of its volume.
It contains proteins, antibodies, nutrients, and other substances that are essential for many bodily functions, including blood clotting, immune response, and fluid balance.
​
Plasma donations are used to make life-saving therapies for people with a variety of medical conditions, including:
​
-
Hemophilia: A rare blood disorder that prevents the blood from clotting properly
-
Immune deficiencies: Conditions that weaken the body's immune system
-
Burns: Severe injuries that damage the skin and underlying tissues
-
Shock: A life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's blood pressure falls too low
​
If you are healthy and meet the eligibility requirements, you can donate plasma every 28 days. Donating plasma is a safe and simple procedure that takes about an hour.
