Donor/Recipient Stories
Your journey as a blood donor could encourage others to give or if you or someone in your family has received blood from the Huntsman Cancer Institute or the University of Utah Hospital and Clinics.
Whole Blood Titan Program
This program includes blood donors who have low-titer O-positive or O-negative blood types. Low-titer blood contains low levels of ABO antibodies, which makes it ideal for emergency transfusions.
Your Blood Type Is Important
The ABO system classifies blood into four blood groups (A, B, AB, and O) based on the presence or absence of certain antibodies and antigens in the red blood cells.
