The Pacific Northwest Blood Services Region provides customers with a wide range of services and resources in addition to the collection of blood products.

Transfer of Blood Products – If we request that a hospital transfer blood to another hospital (that would normally be returned), the Red Cross will arrange transportation of the blood as a convenience to the hospital. You may also transfer blood between facilities and will not be charged a restocking fee.

Inventory Management –Inventory specialists are available for consultation on developing hospital minimum and maximum inventory levels.
