Blood Donor Services
Atlantic Health System's Blood Donor Services Departments at Morristown Medical Center and Overlook Medical Center provide the safest, highest quality blood products for our patients.
- Blood is needed somewhere every three seconds
- One out of three people will need donated blood in their lifetime
- One out of ten hospital patients needs a blood transfusion
- Of the 60 percent of Americans eligible to donate blood, only five percent actually do so ' and only one percent donate in New Jersey
Atlantic Health System hospitals offer the following blood donation services:
Community/Employee Blood Donation: A group of committed, healthy volunteers donate their blood to this program.
Automated Blood Collection: This program offers an automated system that separates and collects only the most-needed blood products (blood cells, plasma and platelets), required by many lifesaving medical treatments, from a single donation.
Directed Blood Donation: Friends or relatives may donate blood for a specific patient. Directed donors must meet the same good health requirements that regular donors meet, and all blood donations are tested to assure their safety for transfusion.
Autologous Blood Donation: Individuals may donate their own blood for personal surgical needs through this program.
