Blood Services The most visible division of Biomedical Services, Blood Services is touching more lives than ever before. We've provided the nation with safe, reliable blood products for generations. And today, we continue setting new standards for safety and quality. Having provided comfort and aid to those in need since 1881, the Red Cross quickly adapted Blood Services as a fundamental part of its humanitarian mission. Started as a war relief effort to provide life-saving blood for soldiers during World War II, Red Cross Blood Services has grown to become an industry leader - collecting and distributing half the nation's blood supply. All the technology and science, however, is only made possible by one simple selfless act: An average person takes time out of his busy schedule to give a piece of himself so that someone he will never know has a chance to live. This incredible act of kindness, that allows a stranger to celebrate another birthday, give birth to a child, or share another Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, is at the heart of what we do.
