Your Health & Safety

Your Health is Important

All materials, including the needle used for your donation, are new, sterile, disposable, and used only once by you for your blood donation. There is no risk of any disease transmission to a donor.

Community Health & Safety

Connecticut Blood Center (CTBC) plays a vital role in promoting community health. When a donor’s blood is taken, a number of tests are performed on the blood which can help detect and treat various issues.

• If the donor’s blood pressure is higher than medically recommended, we provide information along with specific guidance for medical follow-up.
