ANNUAL 2018 REPORT THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY BLOOD BANK Your support for the Community Blood Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania & Western New York means lives were saved in the local community this past year. In 2018, YOU helped us get the job done. people donated4,530 with the CBB for the first time EVER! people committed13,564 to saving lives by donating blood! units25,399 collected from our awesome blood donors! approximately76,197 how many lives in the local community were saved or impacted from the blood products! 2018 IN A SNAPSHOT Teams thrive when everyone works toward a common goal, and in 2018, Community Blood Bank sta and leadership came together with a renewed sense of purpose. Strengthened by the appointment of Deanna Renaud as Executive Director in March 2018 – a 13-year veteran of the blood bank who most recently served as Donor Services Director - CBB team members worked diligently to evaluate operations and position CBB to most eectively meet our mission: connecting donors to patients who are in need of life-sustaining blood products in the communities we serve. Deanna Renaud, appointed to Executive To that end, CBB became one of the few centers in the United Director for the CBB in March 2018. States to begin producing a new product to treat emergent traumas – Low-Titer Whole Blood. This unit of blood comprises the components of platelets, plasma and red blood cells, just as the donor gave them. Most whole blood donations are separated into the individual components, so that patients can receive only the products they need. However, in some cases, when time is precious and a patient is suering massive bleeding, all components can be given through one product, by one donor. These units are Type O, and low on Anti-A and Anti-B antigens, so they are able to be used prior to the determination of the recipient’s blood type. In addition, CBB implemented cutting-edge technology to produce the safest platelet product available in the U.S., and became the only producer of Pathogen Inactivated Platelets in Pennsylvania. This results in better care for patients, and also a better experience for our dedicated platelet donors, as donation time is often decreased. But neither of these important advances could happen without our generous blood donors. In 2018, Community Blood Bank donors gave 25,399 blood products to the patients in our communities! Additionally, 4,530 donors rolled up their sleeves for the rst time with CBB! We celebrated many donor milestones and gallon achievements, as well as the birthday of one of our youngest recipients. As donors and recipients alike continued to share their lives with us in 2018, our CBB family is honored to be a small part of yours.
