Miller-Keystone Blood Center recently launched its Universal Hero Club, which recognizes and rewards our “O” red blood cell donors and “AB” plasma donors.
The red blood cells from an O-negative donor, and/or or the plasma from an AB (positive/negative) donor can be transfused to anyone in need, regardless of blood type. Additionally, the red blood cells from an O-positive donor can be transfused to any patient with an Rh-positive blood type. These blood and plasma donations are especially important in accident/trauma cases, where there may not be time to identify a patient’s specific blood type.
