Our region is celebrated internationally for its excellent hospitals and health
care systems. Patients come to the region from across the nation and abroad
seeking treatment from medical teams working in technically advanced settings.
Pittsburgh is blessed with numerous excellent medical facilities. At one level
are the community hospitals that answer the need for basic and routine medical
care for residents in their immediate areas. At the other end of the spectrum
are the sophisticated regional referral centers. Highly specialized services
such as trauma centers, neonatal units, burn centers, and transplant programs
are available to patients from a wide geographic area.
Our commitment to the care of critically ill and injured patients, as well as
those undergoing routine procedures in need of blood transfusions, requires us
to seek continuous improvements in the quality of products and services we
provide. Our effort to advance transfusion medicine is ongoing. We recognize our
vital role in servicing this challenging and excellent health care delivery
system. The achievements of the blood center are intertwined with the provision
of highly specialized treatment capabilities in our community.
We are proud to be a health care partner with our hospital clients.
Participation in educational programs builds an important bond among Central
Blood Bank, the health care community, and the community at large. Our
organization plays a valuable role in the education of health care professionals
by promoting a better understanding of the science of transfusion medicine. This
results in improved transfusion practices by primary care physicians and other
health care professionals. Collaboration with our hospital partners has led to
improved patient care and a more cost-effective community blood program. Central
Blood Bank has been and will continue to be a responsive, capable, and
cost-effective partner in meeting our hospital clients’ transfusion medicine
demands.
Central Blood Bank provides blood, blood products, and services to more than 40
hospitals in Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Lawrence, Mercer,
