🎉 Happy Blood Product Services (BPS) Week! 🎉

This week, we’re celebrating our incredible BPS team — the behind-the-scenes heroes who keep our lifesaving mission moving every single day.
They work 365 days a year, ensuring hospitals and patients receive the blood products they need — quickly, safely, and efficiently. Covering 20 counties across Oklahoma and Texas, they pick up products from drives near and far and deliver them to our lab in OKC — all within 7 hours of first draw. 🚚💨

Their commitment, teamwork, and precision truly make the difference in patient care. Whether it’s rotating inventory, troubleshooting challenges, or jumping in wherever help is needed, our BPS team goes above and beyond every day.

A huge shoutout to Darrell and his outstanding leadership team, Calvin and Ken, for leading with excellence, efficiency, and heart.
Please join us in thanking our phenomenal BPS team for all they do — not just this week, but every week!

One team. One mission. All in for our patients. ❤️🩸

When the unexpected happens, blood must be ready. A woman trapped under a fallen tree needed a transfusion before rescuers could lift it. Having blood on hand saved her life — your donation makes that possible.

Currently, we are at risk for not having enough blood for emergency scenarios and we need your help. Check out her story and schedule your donation to be part of the lifesaving toolkit first responders rely on: https://bit.ly/46ZPNLr

Our O type inventory is critically low across our service area. We are temporarily bringing in blood from the East Coast to meet hospital needs — but our patients depend on local donors to change that.

Every O donor who gives this week help ensure our communities remain self-sufficient. If you are an eligible Type O donor, please consider giving by Saturday, October 11. Find a donation opportunity in your community here: https://bit.ly/3VSys23

Walk-ins are welcome!

We are temporarily bringing in O-type blood from the East Coast to meet hospital needs — but our patients depend on local donors to change that. Every O donor who gives this week helps us prevent an appeal and ensures our communities remain self-sufficient.

We know more people are excited about the album… you know… THAT album. But we've got our own drop today — our shimmery, bejeweled Life of a Donor badge. And unlike the album, it's available for one day only. Donate October 3 to earn it before it disappears into the vault forever. Walk-ins are welcome!
