Review 20102011 | 2 Letter from the Director Dr. Ronald A. Sacher

“Our Donors Save Lives. Who Will You Save?” was the theme adopted by Hoxworth Blood Center for our past fiscal year. The principles of this campaign remained similar to our previous strategies in that we continue to seek out new donors, more frequent donations and new community partners. This focus allowed us to identify our theme for this year and beyond with a message that will continually emphasize our mission. It is a message that represents the lifesaving work that transpires throughout Hoxworth; from our donors, to our groundbreaking research projects and the latest and greatest technological devices we use to safely and efficiently collect, test and distribute blood components to patients in the 31 hospitals that we serve.

While reviewing this Report to the Community you will learn the value of blood donation from three grateful recipients, as well as insightful information on new research at Hoxworth, made possible through a very generous gift from the Deaconess Foundation and the Heimlich Institute.

As we progress into our 74th year of collecting blood components and saving lives, we ask you to join us. Your commitment to become a volunteer blood donor can significantly decrease the risk of a blood shortage to patients in our community. With that invitation, just one question remains: Who will you save?

3 | Review 20112010 Recipient Story Roger Bockweg

Roger Bockweg and his family exemplify the transformative impact of blood donation. Nearly eight years ago, Roger’s world was forever changed when he became a blood recipient for the first time.

In April of 2003, Roger faced another battle with ongoing Ulcerative Colitis, a painful intestinal disorder affecting less than 0.1 percent of Americans. Adults living with ulcerative colitus know all too well that in addition to chronic discomfort, therapy for the disorder comes with a high risk of internal bleeding. For Roger, this risk became reality, requiring doctors to use nearly 30 units of blood products during three hours of lifesaving surgery. Roger would receive an additonal 20 pints of blood and undergo two additional surgeries over the next nine months.

After his two-year-recovery, Roger made the decision to alter his lifestyle to reflect the positivity of his experience. Roger left his job in commercial software sales and mobile communication to pursue a more fulfulling career. Because his long recovery necessitated workouts in the gym to regain strength lost during his illness, Roger entered the field of commercial fitness equipment sales to clients such as universities, hospitals and gyms.

Roger’s family was also inspired to changes their lives. Roger’s health crisis inspired his wife to leave her job as a technical writer and go back to school to become a registered nurse. In March of 2011, she celebrated her 3-year anniversary as an RN at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Following in the family tradition, the Bockwegs oldest daughter attends the University of Louisville where she is studying to become an RN.

Needless to say, Roger and his loved ones will never forget the sacrifice that made his life, Roger enjoys a bike ride around the University recovery and transformation possible. “Everyday I wake up, I get to be a part of all of this, of Cincinnati campus. because 30 people cared enough to give blood.”

Review 20112010 | 4 Recipient Story Maya Patel

Maya Patel is like any other little girl with a big smile and a heart to match. But just two years ago Maya began a harrowing journey. In September 2009, Maya was diagnosed with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

HLH is a rare, life threatening immune deficiency disorder that primarily affects children. Such an ominous diagnosis comes with an equally uncertain prognosis. Within 48 hours of initial treatment of flu-like symptoms, Maya became critically ill and was placed on ventillator support. She received multiple units of platelets and packed red cell transfusions. After receiving the news of Maya’s diagnosis, the Patel family learned the only treatment option for HLH is chemotherapy, and the only cure would be a bone marrow transplant.

After a few months of condition-stabilizing chemotherapy, Maya arrived at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center for a Maya Patel loves to dress up as her favorite bone marrow transplant. Over the next few months, Maya was Disney Princess, Belle from Beauty and The administered aggressive chemotherapy and underwent two bone marrow infusions. She required multiple transfusions of blood Beast. and platelets, receiving as many as three and four units of platelets per day.

Maya’s life was saved thanks to the expertise of doctors and nurses, the vigiliance and support of her family, and the selfless giving of blood donors. Because of the commitment and generosity of blood donors, Maya has the chance to embrance life and enjoy doing everything she loves, like singing, dancing, reading and playing with her brother.

Review 20112010 | 6 Research Story Heimlich Foundation funds research

The researchers at Hoxworth Blood Center were pleased to receive an award from the Deaconess Associations Foundation and the Heimlich Institute totaling $615,000 to aid in the new development of cellular therapy treatments for patients.

The award is being used to fund two studies by Hoxworth researchers. Thomas Leemhuis, PhD and his research group are developing a manuafacturing process for an experimental cell therapy product. The invention could benefit bone marrow transplant patients who acquire life-threatening viral infections post transplant. Research has shown that cultured T-lymphocytes will kill virally- infected cells in the laboratory. Researchers are already seeking FDA permission to conduct a clinical trial.

Additionally, research by Dr. Jose Cancelas’s, M.D., PhD. is evaluating mechanisms of stem cell mobilization from bone marrow. That will enable the understanding of stem cell migration into the blood stream.

“We are grateful for the suport given to us by the Deaconess/Hemilich donation” said Dr. Ronald Sacher, director Hoxworth Blood Center. “We have made considerable progress since the program started over a year ago, and are optimistic that the success of our efforts supported by this generous gift will help patients both in our community and throughout the world.”
